Samson Kayode Olaleye (born 6 October 1988), also known as Hoàng Và © Samson, is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a striker for V.League 1 club PVF-CAND.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in V.League 1 history, he holds the V.League 1's record of being the all-time goal scorer with 202 goals becoming the first player to reach the 200 goals milestones.
Samson started his playing in Vietnam for Than Quảng Ninh. He scored 15 goals in his two years at the club.
In 2009, Samson joined ÃÂá»Âng Tháp and later became one of the most popular foreign players in Vietnam. He scored 17 goals in 18 games in the 2011 season.
In August 2011, after being liquidated by ÃÂá»Âng Tháp ahead of time due to a hand injury, Kayode moved to Atlético Madrid B on a free transfer. He was then loaned to Braga because Atlético Madrid B had run out of quotas to sign non-EU players.
However, as soon as they learned that Atlético Madrid B signed a contract with Samson, the representative of HàNá»Âi had a file submitted to the VFF requesting not to issue an International Transfer Certificate (ITC) for the Nigerian striker because he had previously submitted a certificate to him. Then, Samson finally agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding to play for the capital team from the 2012 season with a part of the transfer money and a compensation clause in case of any violation.
With HàNá»Âi, Samson was the V.League 1 top scorer in the 2013 and 2014 season. In October 2013, Samson was also naturalized to become a Vietnamese citizen, thus making him a domestic player in the league.
From the 2018 season, teams in the top two divisions of Thailand allow teams to register a foreign player of Southeast Asian (ASEAN) origin in the squad. Buriram United quickly reached an agreement with Hoàng Và © Samson on 29 December 2017. However, he and his club ended their contract shortly after.
Returning to HàNá»Âi on 11 March 2018, Hoàng Và © Samson is still trusted by coach Chu ÃÂình Nghiêm. At this team, the 30-year-old has scored 21 goals in the 2018-19 season.
In 2019, Hoàng Và © Samson was loaned out to Quảng Nam, scoring 7 goals in 12 matches.
From the 2020 season, the Nigerian-born player moved to ÃÂông àThanh Hóa where he scored 9 goals in 22 matches.
On 19 October 2021, Samson joined his sixth Vietnamese club HỠChàMinh City.
On 27 September 2023, Samson joined Quảng Nam.
Following Quảng Nam's withdrawal from the 2025âÂÂ26 V.League 1, Samson joined newly promoted V.League 1 side PVF-CAND.
