British newspaper honors Xuan Son

Nguyen Xuan Son's brilliant performance before his injury helped the striker attract attention from European media.

Xuan Son played very successfully before his injury.

On the evening of November 13, in the long list of candidates for the nomination of the top 40 best players of 2025 sent by The Guardian to Tri Thuc - Znews, Xuan Son's name was surprisingly included. Notably, the 28-year-old striker represented Vietnam in the competition. The final results are expected to be announced in December 2025.

In fact, Xuan Son did not play any matches in 2025. He was present thanks to his excellent performance to help Nam Dinh Club win the V.League 2023/24, and also won the title of top scorer and best player in the first tournament wearing the Vietnamese national team jersey, the ASEAN Cup 2024.

Xuan Son’s chances of winning the award or even being in the top 40 best players of the year are not high. However, being nominated shows that Xuan Son must be very outstanding to attract the attention of the British newspaper.

Every year, The Guardian selects the best player of the year. The jury consists of famous former players, coaches and many journalists around the world , including Tri Thuc - Znews.

According to the Guardian 's list of the top 10 best players in the world in 2024, Rodri ranked first, followed by Vinicius Junior, Erling Haaland, Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Lautaro Martinez, Florian Wirtz, Dani Carvajal and Kylian Mbappe.
