Song Lam Nghe An trials 2 foreign players
After terminating the contracts with center back Mario Zebic and striker Success, Song Lam Nghe An has almost found a new pair of foreign players, who are considered suitable for the team's current playing style.
At the end of the 2023-2024 season, Song Lam Nghe An had to rely on a spectacular last-minute escape to stay in the V-League. Part of the reason for this situation was the quality of the foreign players. While center-back Mario has not yet shown his leading role in the back line, creating support for his teammates, Success has shown even worse performance. The Nigerian striker has played 11 times and has not scored any goals for the Vinh team. In the second half of the season, Success was not even included in Song Lam Nghe An's registration list.
In order to avoid the same situation as last season, Song Lam Nghe An has successfully extended the contract with main striker Olaha. In addition, this team is also very active in searching for quality foreign players suitable for the playing style and current personnel of Song Lam Nghe An.
After a thorough investigation, Song Lam Nghe An successfully approached striker Benjamin Kuku - Nigerian nationality and center back Sebastián Zaracho - Paraguayan nationality.
It is known that Benjamin Kuku was born in 1995, is 1m89 tall, and plays as a striker. According to information from the Transfer Markt website, striker Kuku's highest transfer value was 400,000 Euros (2017). The current value is around 175,000 Euros.
Kuku first played professionally for Romania's second division clubs. For the last 6 seasons, Benjamin Kuku played for teams in the Israeli Premier League, mostly for Hapoel Kfar Saba.
Benjamin Kuku's performance in the Israeli Premier League is 47 goals in 232 matches. In the 2023/24 season, this striker played 22 matches for Hapoel Kfar Saba and scored 6 goals. Benjamin Kuku was in his best form in the 2018/2019 season when he was playing for Hapoel Kfar Saba, scoring 14 goals in 37 matches.
As for central defender Sebastián Zaracho, he was born in 1999, is 1m86 tall, has a highest transfer value of 500,000 Euros (in 2023), current value is about 250,000 Euros.
Zaracho has played in the Paraguayan National Championship and the Bolivian National Championship. In 2022, this player played 28 matches for Bolivian club Deportivo Aurora, in 2023, 27 matches, scoring 3 goals for this team.
According to information from Nghe An Newspaper reporters, this foreign duo will be present at Vinh Stadium on August 5. Song Lam Nghe An will conduct a trial and complete some procedures before signing contracts with Kuku and Zaracho./.
