HANOI, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese Song Lam Nghe An FC striker Le Cong Vinh will play for Japan's Consadole Sapporo FC from August to December this year under a loan contract signed on Monday, reported local Tuoi Tre newspaper on Tuesday.
The newspaper quoted Nonomura, Consadole Sapporo's President as saying that he hoped Vinh's attendance in Japanese club will contribute to cooperation and development of football in both Vietnam and Japan.
Vinh is the top scorer of Song Lam Nghe An FC in V-League 2013 with 14 goals. Along with other players such as Phi Son, Trong Hoang and Bryan, Vinh is hoped to help the club realize its dream of becoming champion in this year's football season.

In 2009, Vinh played for Portugal's Leixoes FC, but he had little chance to appear in the lineup.
