On June 28th, Beijing time, Miaohara reporters broke the news that K-League winger Ilyuchenko will soon step into the Chinese Super League, sparking heated discussions among fans. The 31-year-old tall man (1.87 meters) not only has excellent footwork skills, but also has a header, which makes him an all-around center forward. In his two years in the K-League, he has delivered 26 goals and 11 assists, and this season he has shown his style with 9 goals and 4 assists in 18 games. It is worth mentioning that his market value is only 975,000 euros, under the label of good value for money, Ilyuchenko's joining undoubtedly adds more expectations for the Chinese Super League.
Before the start of this season's Chinese Super League, Ilyuchenko's rumors were once closely linked to Shandong Taishan. The Korean media revealed that Shandong Taishan were interested in bringing in Ilyuchenko, but in the end he chose to stay in the K-League. Shandong Taishan sought to bring in Ilyuchenko and Felipe to fill the void left by Pelé's departure, but the two sides failed to reach a final agreement.
Now, with Ilyuchenko joining a Chinese Super League title contender in the summer transfer window, his potential home is in the spotlight. Evergrande, Harbour and Taishan are all expected to be his new owners. As for Beijing Guoan, another team shouting about winning the title, Jian's analysis suggests that given its current ranking, its positioning in the title contention ranks is still in doubt. The arrival of this high center forward, who has proven himself in both the German Bundesliga and the K-League, will undoubtedly raise the attention of the Chinese Super League, and Ilyuchenko is expected to perform even better in the new league.
