Names likely to be added to Song Lam Nghe An's first team
As usual, every new season, Song Lam Nghe An will introduce many new young players to the V.League. This season, which names will the Nghe An team introduce to the highest league in Vietnam?
Defender Nguyen Tan Minh
Last season, the two full-back positions ofLam River Nghe Anquite thin when Bui Thanh Duc and veteran Tran Dinh Hoang are often injured. Along with that, Ho Van Cuong was promoted by the coaching board to play as a midfielder, making this position even more lacking in personnel. There were times when midfielder Phan Ba Quyen had to withdraw to play as a right-back. This reduced the solidity of the Nghe An team's defense.
Next season, veteran Tran Dinh Hoang has officially said goodbye to his football career. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An must urgently add personnel in the full-back position. And the name Nguyen Tan Minh is one of the candidates for that position.
Although only 18 years old, Nguyen Tan Minh has a quite mature playing style. His speed and good physical strength help this player born in 2007 to attack and defend smoothly. In addition, Nguyen Tan Minh also has a powerful weapon which is strong and long throw-ins. These will certainly be necessary attacking options for the Nghe An team in a deadlocked situation.
Currently, Nguyen Tan Minh is competing with U21 Song Lam Nghe An in the final round of the National U21 Tournament in 2025. If he has excellent performances,Nguyen Tan Minhcan be on the list of Song Lam Nghe An team 1 to participate in V.League 2025-2026.
Center back Vo Tien Thang
Like Nguyen Tan Minh, central defender Vo Tien Thang is with the Nghe An youth team participating in the final round of the National U21 tournament in 2025. With the captain's armband, it is clear that Vo Tien Thang is a player with leadership qualities in the defense of U21 Song Lam Nghe An.
Indeed, the performances in the youth teams of Nghe An or most recently the matches in the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club in the 2024/2025 National First Division have shown the qualities of this player born in 2004. Playing calmly, reading situations well and possessing accurate tackles. Vo Tien Thang reminds fans of the playing style of central defender Nguyen Huy Hoang - a former defensive "monument" of Song Lam Nghe An.
In the context that central defenders like Le Nguyen Hoang, Le Van Thanh or Ho Khac Luong often do not have the best physical condition and form, Vo Tien Thang will be a reasonable addition to the Nghe An team's defense in the new season.
Midfielder Nguyen Trong Son
At the youth levels of Song Lam Nghe An, midfielder Nguyen Trong Son has always stood out with his ability to dribble and shoot with great precision. Along with that, his excellent tactical vision allows this 19-year-old midfielder to play in many positions in the attack.
Most recently, Nguyen Trong Son's outstanding performance in the opening match of the 2025 National U21 Championship finals has said it all. The defenders of Ho Chi Minh City U21 Football Club had a hard day's work against Nguyen Trong Son's breakthroughs on the left wing. Clearly, Nguyen Trong Son is an important card in the journey to conquer the 2025 National U21 Championship of coach Pham Anh Tuan's team.
Therefore, it is very likely that next season, Nghe An fans will witnessNguyen Trong Soncompete in V.League. Especially when Song Lam Nghe An has just said goodbye to midfielder Dinh Xuan Tien and needs additions to fill this void.
