V.League 2020: Blockbusters have 'exploded' in the transfer market
(Baonghean.vn) - With just over 2 months left until the 2020 season officially kicks off, football teams are actively strengthening their squads. Here are some notable deals that have been completed recently.
After much speculation, the duo Ho Khac Ngoc - Tran Nguyen Manh finally officially became members of Viettel Club. The contract between these two players with the military team is for 3 years with an undisclosed salary. Next season, Ho Khac Ngoc and Tran Nguyen Manh will work with new captain Truong Viet Hoang, who has just "returned to his old home" The Cong from Hai Phong Club.

Just as “generous” as Viettel Club are Thanh Hoa Club of Mr. De and Ho Chi Minh City Club of Chairman Nguyen Huu Thang. Not long after the play-off match with Pho Hien Club ended, the Thanh team completed two “huge” contracts with striker Hoang Vu Samson (Hanoi Club) and center back Epassi (Ho Chi Minh City Club). Notably, on the coaching bench, Thanh Hoa Club has just welcomed Italian strategist - Fabio Lopez.
Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City FC has shown great ambition for the next season, with a "revolution in personnel". In addition to extending the contracts of "veterans" such as coach Chung Hae-seong, central defender Nguyen Tang Tien, midfielder Pham Cong Hien and striker Vu Quang Nam, the current V.League runner-up also successfully recruited the 2019 National First Division top scorer - Nguyen Xuan Nam, former Arsenal striker - Jay Emmanuel - Thomas and national team player - Vo Huy Toan.
Although having to say goodbye to Vo Huy Toan after many years of association, SHB Da Nang fans have somewhat eased their sadness when the Han River team completed two quality contracts from SLNA Club, midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan and right-back Tran Dinh Hoang. It is likely that in a few weeks, the Hoa Xuan Stadium team will announce more new recruits. It seems that SHB Da Nang Club is trying to regain its position on the national football map.

Not as noisy as the 4 teams mentioned above, Mr. Duc's HAGL Club also managed to make its mark on the transfer market by adding center-back Memovic, a former player of SLNA Club. This is a deal that is highly appreciated by experts, because the defense of the mountain town team in recent seasons often plays uncertainly and center-back Memovic had an impressive season with the Nghe An team. Hopefully, the Serbian player will shine at Pleiku Stadium.
In general, at the present time, the transfer market of Vietnamese football is not really active. Many teams are "inactive" for many different reasons, such as SLNA Club, Nam Ha Nam Dinh Pharmacy Club or Hanoi Club...
