The extremely rare Vietnamese overseas midfielder may not necessarily join the V-League to play.

The rumor that the talented Vietnamese overseas player Khoa Ngô has been recruited by a V-League club at this stage may not be accurate.

Recently, the transfer market has been stirred by news that Ho Chi Minh City Police Club is preparing to sign Khoa Ngô from Perth Gloryto play in the second phase of the V.League.

However, experts believe this deal is unlikely to happen at the moment. Khoa Ngô was only recently promoted to the first team and is beginning to shine brightly in the A-League, so it is unlikely for him to leave Australia's top football environment to return to Vietnam mid-season, especially since his contract with his current club runs until June 2026.

The reason Khoa Ngô attracts such attention is due to his unique background. Born and raised in Perth, this midfielder has 100% Vietnamese blood as both his father and mother are Vietnamese. His pure Vietnamese heritage makes Khoa Ngô a top target in the strategy to recruit talented overseas Vietnamese players, promising to be a perfect addition to the national team under coach Kim Sang-sik if he completes the naturalization process in the future.

The 19-year-old player made history as the first Vietnamese overseas player to score in Australia’s national league (A-League). In a recent match against Melbourne Victory, Khoa Ngô sprinted powerfully down the left wing before finishing skillfully from a tight angle. This goal not only helped Perth Glory reduce the deficit but also confirmed his value as a rising star, showcasing a blend of Vietnamese technical skill and modern football thinking.

Despite his modest height of 1.65m, Khoa Ngô impresses with explosive speed and tricky dribbling. Before shining in the A-League, he was a "goal machine" in the Western Australia NPL with 13 goals. His strong competitive spirit despite his young age is an invaluable asset, allowing him to quickly adapt to the high intensity and pragmatic style of professional football in Australia.

In the 2025/26 season, the position of the midfielder born in 2006 at Perth Glory is becoming increasingly solid. After 11 rounds, he has appeared 6 times and become a tactical "trump card" frequently trusted by the coaching staff. His gradual establishment in the main squad of an A-League club further supports the view that Khoa Ngô will continue to develop his career in Australian football rather than rushing back to the V.League.

The journey of the young man with 100% Vietnamese blood in Australia is still wide open with great potential. Although the rumor of joining Ho Chi Minh City Police Club may not be accurate now, the interest from domestic clubs shows a strong desire to acquire quality overseas Vietnamese talents.
