Guoan FC has announced the signing of their new striker, Zhang Shengyu, on a three-year contract.
The signing comes just days after Guoan made history by signing their first overseas player in the Chinese Super League (CSL) with Zhang Shengyu joining from Wuhan Dalian YIFU.
Zhang, who is also a former professional footballer, has impressed scouts and fans alike with his skills and experience.
The move is expected to help Guoan improve their attacking play and add depth to their squad.
Zhang, who was born in China but played for the Indonesian club Malang F.C., will make his debut for Guoan on Sunday against the Shanghai SIPG.
Guoan FC is currently one of the favorites to win the Chinese Super League this season and Zhang's signing should provide them with some much-needed reinforcements.
However, there have been concerns about Zhang's fitness and he may be limited in his playing time.
In addition, Zhang is not yet fully vaccinated for COVID-19, which could impact his performance during games.
Despite these challenges, Zhang is confident that he can contribute to Guoan's success in the league.
"Being able to sign someone like Zhang Shengyu is really exciting," said Guoan FC manager Wang Jianwei. "He is a talented young talent who has a lot of potential and we believe he can bring a lot of energy to our team."
Overall, Zhang's signing is a positive development for Guoan FC and adds another name to their impressive list of signings. With the right management and coaching, they hope that Zhang can help their team reach even higher levels next season.
