In this season's Chinese Super League, 26-year-old starlet Zhang Yuning is third on the list of top scorers with 19 goals, and has been honored as the top local scorer for two consecutive seasons. The 27-year-old Wei Shihao, also one of China's top scorers, was forced to play as a center midfielder due to the limited strength of the Guangzhou team, and scored only six goals from the midfield. With Wei expected to return to the top tier of the Chinese Super League, look for him to make his mark.
Guangzhou forward Wei Shihao has reportedly decided to return to his roots, signing a three-year deal with Shandong Taishan.
Oriental Sports Daily notes that with Guangzhou slipping to the First Division, many of their core players, including Wei Shihao, may be leaving the team. The international players among them will chase their dreams and return to Shandong Taishan on a three-year deal.
Wei Shihao, 1.78 meters tall, 27 years old, specializes in left winger and can also play as a striker. He has a balanced left and right foot technique and is good at passing and shooting. Currently, Wei Shihao is valued at 450,000 euros in Germany. He came from Luneng Football School and developed abroad. His career is quite similar to Zhang Yuning. Wei Shihao, who had a conflict with Shandong Taishan, has gradually eased his relationship with time. Expect him to play well when he returns to Shandong Taishan.
