Nam Dinh negotiates with Nguyen Van Toan

Van Toan will return to Vietnam at the end of this month to negotiate some remaining small details before signing a contract with Nam Dinh. He joined Thien Truong Stadium on a free transfer, because his contract with Seoul E-land was about to expire.

Van Toan grew up in the first grade of HAGL Arsenal JMG Academy with Nguyen Cong Phuong, Luong Xuan Truong, Nguyen Tuan Anh... He has been playing the V-League since 2015 when he was still wearing the Vietnam U19 shirt. A year later, he debuted in the Vietnam national team shirt.

Van Toan's contract with HAGL expired at the end of 2022 and decided not to renew it. Nam Dinh then asked, but Van Toan chose to go to Seoul E-land out of respect for boss Doan Nguyen Duc, not wanting to switch directly to another team in the V-League.

Van Toan was unlucky, injured many times in a year with Seoul E-land. However, he also made 10 appearances, including eight in the K-League 2.

Nam Dinh is actively "hunting" players to prepare for the new season, after unsuccessfully competing in the V-League 2023. The Nam Thanh team spent a lot of money to recruit a series of players like Nguyen Huu Tuan. , Tran Nguyen Manh, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy, Hendrio...but not achieving the expected results. After the loss to CAHN in the fourth round of Group A, the second phase of the V-League 2023, the team had little hope of winning the championship with only 23 points, nine points behind the top team Hanoi. In the National Cup, Nam Dinh lost to Viettel 0-2 in the quarterfinals.
