(Baonghean.vn) - On January 4, midfielder Tran Phi Son will fly to Ho Chi Minh City to sign a new contract. One day later, he will officially debut for the Southern team with coach Toshiya Miura and the new players.

“On January 4, I will fly to Ho Chi Minh City to sign a contract, preparing to debut for the new team. After many years playing for SLNA, joining Ho Chi Minh City gives me many mixed emotions. A completely new environment and having to start from scratch will certainly have many difficulties waiting.

However, I am still confident that I will overcome and be able to contribute my best in the new shirt. I would like to send my sincere thanks to SLNA fans and gratitude to my teammates and teachers at SLNA once again...", Tran Phi Son shared.

Coming to Ho Chi Minh City Club, midfielder Tran Phi Son will meet his old teacher, Coach Toshiya Miura. The former head coach of the Vietnam national team will officially introduce his new team and new players on January 5.

Coach Toshiya Miura has spent three years leading the Vietnamese national team. The Japanese coach helped the Vietnamese team win third place in the AFF Cup in 2014 and a bronze medal at the 28th SEA Games with the U23 Vietnam team. Before coming to Vietnam, Coach Miura had nearly 20 years of experience leading clubs in Japan.

As planned, on January 8, Ho Chi Minh City Club will officially begin to gather again. After saying goodbye to 13 old players from last season, the team of acting President Le Cong Vinh is actively recruiting personnel towards important goals in the 2018 season.

After completing contract negotiations with Phi Son, it is likely that central defenders Vu Ngoc Thinh (from Hai Phong), Sam Ngoc Duc (Hanoi FC), Thanh Diep (XSKT Can Tho), and Huynh Van Thanh (Saigon) will also be introduced./.
