Nguyen Quang Hai stands out as one of Vietnam’s premier football talents, demonstrating exceptional skill during major tournaments since 2018, including performances with the U23 and national teams. His consistent excellence has drawn acclaim, notably from Fox Sports editor Gabriel Tan, who remarked that Hai is currently “the hottest property in Southeast Asia football.”
In a span of 15 months, Hai contributed significantly to Vietnam’s achievements, including reaching the final of the AFC U-23 Championship, winning the AFF Suzuki Cup, advancing to the quarter-finals of the AFC Asian Cup 2019, and placing fourth in the previous year’s Asian Games. Gabriel Tan highlighted these successes while listing Hai as one of six Asian footballers poised for potential European transfers.
Hai has caught the eye of several clubs across Asia; however, Hanoi FC is reportedly hesitant to release him unless a substantial European offer materializes. Tan also noted that other notable players, such as Takefusa Kubo, Alireza Beiranvand, Chanathip Songkrasin, Almoez Ali, and Jo Hyeon-woo, are in a similar situation, seeking European opportunities.
Recent reports from May linked Hai to the La Liga team Deportivo Alaves, interested in evaluating him for the 2019-2020 season. Additionally, fellow Vietnamese player Doan Van Hau has garnered interest from Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach, indicating a growing recognition of Vietnamese talent in European football.
