HÀ NỘI  V.League 1 newcomers Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh have already signed three new players on free transfers ahead of next season.

The promoted side added midfielder Phạm Hoàng Lâm, 26, from Hoàng Anh Gia Lai, Đoàn Anh Việt, 20, from Quảng Ninh, and Lê Mạnh Dũng from Sông Lam Nghệ An.

Lâm was a member of the national U23 squad in 2016.

Midfielder Việt is a young player who played for Hà Tĩnh’s U21 team during October's national championship under a loan contract.

Both of their contracts have not been announced in detail.

Earlier, midfielder Dũng signed a three-year deal.

“We will hunt young players who will be our core for a long-term development. And high-quality foreigners will help us to stay in the harsh V.League 1,” said Hà Tĩnh President’s Nguyễn Tiến Dũng. VNS
