HA NOI (VNS) — Midfielder Le Van Thang has agreed a one-year contract to play for Hai Phong next season.

Thang is the best Vietnamese scorer of the V.League 1 with 16 goals in 25 matches.

He ranks second in the scoring table with two goals less than best scorer Tambwe Patiyo of Quang Nam. Patiyo is a Congolese footballer.

Thang moved to Can Tho under a three-year deal. But after one year with his outstanding performance he has lured attention from several clubs before choosing Hai Phong.

Can Tho managers let Thang leave and in exchange midfielder Dinh Tien Thanh of Hai Phong will continue to play for Can Tho for another year on loan.

No more details of the contract have been revealed. — VNS
