After clinching the V-League Golden Boot, CAHN's foreign striker reveals his 'special dream' regarding Vietnamese football.

After successfully retaining the Golden Boot and making significant contributions to Hanoi Police's V-League 2025/26 title, forward Alan Grafite has drawn further attention by asserting his willingness to represent Vietnam's national team if the chance arises.

Concluding the V-League 2025/26 season with a championship for Hanoi Police and the top scorer award, Alan Grafite remains the center of attention of Vietnamese football fans. However, what has sparked the most discussion is not his 16 goals or the championship trophy, but the Brazilian striker's desire to one day wear the Vietnam national team jersey.

This season witnessed Alan Grafite's outstanding performance in the CAHN shirt. The 1998-born forward scored a total of 16 goals, thereby successfully defending his V-League top scorer title. This is also the second consecutive season he has topped the scoring charts, playing a major role in helping coach Alexandre Polking's team claim the championship.

With his diverse finishing ability, ranging from aerial duels and long-range shots to sharp positioning inside the box, Alan has become a nightmare for most defenses in the V-League. Since moving to Asia, the Brazilian striker has scored over 50 goals, cementing his status as one of the league's best foreign players.

After a successful season with the "Police team", he recently made notable shares with Globo (Brazil). Accordingly, Alan frankly expressed his desire to obtain citizenship and contribute to the Vietnam national team if given the opportunity.

The CAHN forward also stated that Vietnam has become his second home. Since arriving in the V-League in September 2023 with Quy Nhon Binh Dinh (now Quy Nhon United), he has felt the affection from fans as well as the peaceful life for his family.

Not just stopping at emotions, Alan affirmed that if one day he gets to wear the "Golden Star Warriors" jersey, he will strive to give his all to bring success to Vietnamese football.

After the case of Nguyen Xuan Son (Rafaelson Fernandes), Alan Grafite's statement will certainly draw special attention from fans. A striker who has just won the V-League top scorer title for two consecutive seasons, and openly expresses the desire to wear the Vietnam national team jersey, could completely become a notable name in Vietnamese football in the future.
