HCM CITY After winning promotion to the V.League 1, Bình Định FC have set their sights on doing more than just staying up by making several ambitious signings.

For defence, coach Nguyễn Đức Thắng added Hồ Tấn Tài from Bình Dương FC, Ahn Byung-keon from Sai Gon FC, Đinh Tiến Thành of Hà Nội FC and Vũ Viết Triều from Quảng Ninh Coal FC.

The attack has also been reinforced in the form of Trần Đình Kha of Khánh Hòa FC, Phạm Văn Thành from HCM City FC and Jamaican player Gordon Rimario of Hà Nội FC.

In addition, the team just made a loan deal with Bohemians 1905 FC of the Czech Republic to sign overseas Vietnamese midfielder Tonny Lê Tuấn Anh on loan.

For Vietnamese fans, Anh is not a strange name and was called up to the U22 training camp to prepare for the U20 World Cup finals in 2017.

However, he was not selected for the final squad as he struggled to impress coach Hoàng Anh Tuấn.

Trained in a European football environment, Anh is expected to adopt the technical and beautiful gameplay coach Đức Thắng is building for Bình Định FC.

Anh can play well in the central midfield position and has a solid frame that will help coach Đức Thắng of Bình Định FC have more good choices for the midfield.

Only one month left until the V.League 1 2021 season will start, at this time Anh needs to show his connection with his teammates before playing in official matches.

Beside Anh, another overseas Vietnamese player Yohan Cabaye, who played for France national football team in World Cup 2014, is rumoured to be about to join defending champions Viettel.

He has a strong attachment with his Vietnamese grandmother and reportedly wants to play in Việt Nam. VNS
