On Wednesday, Chinese Super League powerhouse Shanghai Shenhua welcomed a new face - Dai Weijun. After a cordial communication, the former free agent officially joined the team and will wear the No. 9 gown, which symbolizes honor. With the Chinese Super League's summer transfer window set to kick off on July 1, Dai is expected to start his new chapter at Shenhua in a home game against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers next Sunday.

Shanghai Shenhua rate him highly, believing that his unique creativity as a technical midfielder will bring new energy to the team's attack, as well as his excellent set-piece skills, which will significantly enhance the team's attacking power and quality in the center of the field. On social media, Dai Weijun also expressed his gratitude to the team, promising to work side by side with his teammates and give his all for every game.
