HA NOI — Vietnamese midfielder Luong Xuan Truong, who attended Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL)-Arsenal JMG Academy, will compete for Gangwon FC, of South Korea’s K-League Classic, after ending a two-year-loan deal with Incheon United FC.
A representative of HAGL, Nguyen Tan Anh, confirmed the news and said Truong officially terminated his contract with Incheon FC.
On December 28 2015, Xuan Truong joined Incheon United FC on a two-year deal with an alleged transfer fee of US$300,000. He became the first Vietnamese player to play in the K-League.
The compensation for the remainder of Truong’s deal with Incheon United will be paid by Gangwon.
Gangwon are now led by former head coach Choi Yoon-gyun of HAGL.
This will be a great chance for Truong as Choi used to coach HAGL so he is well acquainted with Truong’s ability.
According to Anh, Gangwon FC have also pledged to give Truong more time on the pitch.
Truong was called up to the national U19 team in 2013-14, the U23 team in 2015 and Viet Nam’s national team in 2016.
In addition to Truong, Gangwon also recruited striker Jung Jo-gook who was selected as the most valuable player of K-League in 2016. — VNS
