# Phan Văn Đức

Phan Văn Đức (born 11 April 1996) is a Vietnamese professional footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for V.League 1 club Công An Hà Nội and the Vietnam national team.

## Club career

Born in Nghệ An, Văn Đức was an academy product of local team Sông Lam Nghệ An. After the successful loan spell at V.League 2 team Công An Nhân Dân in 2015, he was promoted to Sông Lam Nghệ An's first team for the 2016 V.League 1. In his first season at Vietnamese top tier, he was the under-19 player with the most game time of the team. Văn Đức was formed to play as a forward, but was moved down to play as an attacking midfielder by coaches, allowing to have more game time as he had difficulty competing upfront with foreign players. In the following season, he scored 2 goals in the 2017 Vietnamese Cup final against Becamex Binh Duong, helping his club win the title. In the season after, he netted 9 goals in the league, the highest of his career. Văn Đức's last season at Sông Lam Nghệ An was in 2022, when he scored 7 goals and helped his club finished 5th in the league.
In November 2022, Văn Đức signed for V.League 1 newly promoted tea Công An Hà Nội. After 3 games with the club in the 2023 season, he was ruled out for the rest of the season due to a anterior cruciate ligament injury, and only returned back in March 2024.

## International career

In 2018, Văn Đức took part in the AFC U-23 Championship runners-up campaign with Vietnam U23, scoring a goal in the quarter-finals game against Iraq. At the same year, he made his debut with Vietnam national team and participated in the 2018 AFF Championship as Vietnam won the title with Văn Đức contributing 2 goals to the campaign. He then participated in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, where Vietnam managed to reach the quarter-finals.
