In early January 2025, striker Jeferson Elias joined Chanthaburi Club in Thai League 2 after leaving HAGL. On the homepage of Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), Elias' name still appears on the HAGL list. However, the mountain town team will soon change foreign players.
As soon as he moved to the new team, Elias immediately shone. He scored 1 goal in his debut match to help Chanthaburi beat Kasetsart 2-1. In the next match, the striker born in 1998 passed to his teammate to score but lost to Police Tero. Jeferson Elias showed a face that was the opposite of what he did at HAGL. In the shirt of the mountain town team, Elias had no goals or assists after 7 matches.

This surprised many fans. Jeferson Elias scored 13 goals and had 2 assists for his teammates in the 2023/2024 V.League - the season he played for the Hanoi Police Club. In the 2022/2023 season, Elias played 14 matches but did not score any goals for The Cong - Viettel.
The Brazilian player plays enthusiastically and aggressively but rarely shows the necessary sharpness in front of the opponent's goal. HAGL has a good record in V.League 2024/2025 but if Elias scores, coach Vu Tien Thanh and his team can do more impressive things. However, a smooth start helps Elias gain more confidence in Thailand. This player is young and still has enough time to develop into a top striker.
As for HAGL, after settling the lawsuit with Martin Dzilah, they are looking for a high-quality striker to take on the task of scoring goals. After Quoc Viet and Thanh Binh joined Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club in the First Division, HAGL is seriously lacking strikers.
There are many rumors that HAGL will soon sign a contract with “old man” Washington Brandao. However, this information seems to be incorrect. HAGL leaders have not confirmed the transfer of the striker born in 1990.
