TPO - Nam Dinh continues its campaign to add foreign players to its already strong force. The team has just introduced Mitchell Dijks, a Dutch midfielder who used to play in Serie A.

The homepage of Nam Dinh Green Steel confirmed the deal: “The club is pleased to introduce the team’s next new player - Mitchell Clement Dijks.” The 32-year-old player grew up in the famous Ajax training academy and was promoted to the first team in 2012. He also played in England for Norwich City, then in Serie A for Bologna.

At the national team level, this central defender has played for the U16, U18, U19 and U21 Netherlands. The presence of Mitchell Dijks promises to strengthen the "steel" of Nam Dinh's defense. This player is 1m94 tall. With central defender Lucas Alves and goalkeeper Caique both being over 1m9 tall, the Nam Dinh club is more confident in defending against high balls.

Mitchell Clement Dijks has just debuted for Nam Dinh.

The appearance of Mitchell Dijks is considered a piece of the puzzle for Nam Dinh to complete the machine to serve the goal of conquering 4 arenas in the 2025/26 season. Years of playing at the top level in Europe can help Mitchell Dijks prove himself in Nam Dinh, a team that is eager to strengthen its defense after an unsatisfactory start.

In the 2-3 loss to CAHN in the National Super Cup, their central defenders did not do their job well, causing the club to lose 3 goals. In the narrow win over Hai Phong in the first round of the national championship, Nam Dinh also conceded a goal from a header by Luiz Antonio. Mitchell Dijks will likely be a good partner for Lucas Alves when the club from Thanh Nam competes in the Southeast Asian Cup C1 and the Asian Cup C1.

With Mitchell Dijks, Nam Dinh's foreign force has reached 11 people, including Lucas Alves, Caio César, Mahmoud Eid, Njabulo Blom, Percy Tau, Romulo, Kyle Hudlin, Brenner, Caíque, Kevin Pham Ba. This club continues to dominate LPBank V.League in terms of foreign players. Their "mercenaries" are spread evenly across positions, helping Nam Dinh to be able to field a squad with 100% foreign blood this season.
