Tujia shooter Wang is expected to join Shenzhen Xinpeng City

Reporter Wang Wei reports On the evening of June 14, Shenzhen Xinpeng City defeated the league leader Shanghai Shenhua 3-1 with the goals of Zhang Yudong, Zhang Yujie and Dugalic, breaking a big upset in this round of the game. It is worth noting that the three players who scored the goal, Zhang Yudong, Zhang Yujie and Dugalich, are all midfielders and weak forwards, which is a major reason why Xinpeng City is currently low in the standings. The summer window is about to begin, and Shenzhen Xinpeng City are looking to bring in strikers to increase the team's attacking strength, and they have already set their sights on the top scorer of the Turkish First Division in the 2024-2025 season, Brazilian player Wesley.

At present, Shenzu has played 13 rounds of games, with 4 wins, 2 draws, 7 losses, 14 points, temporarily ranking fourth from the bottom of the Chinese Super League, and the relegation situation is still very grim. Shenzhen Xinpeng City has 5 foreign players this season, striker Sakaria, 13 appearances, 1 goal and 2 assists; Midfielder Edu scored 3 goals and 2 assists; Kartsev 1 goal and 3 assists; Centre-back Dugalic has three goals; Striker Leonso made 12 appearances and failed to score or assist.

Edu and Kartsev have some quality in organising the attack, and Dugalic is actively involved in the attack while doing his job in defence, but the two foreign players in the attacking end clearly did not live up to the expectations. According to Shenzhen Xinpeng City head coach Latanzio, the team's striker Baihelamu is currently recovering physically, and An Yongjia is also recovering.

Previously, it was reported that Xinpeng City had made contact with foreign player Malcom, who had played in the Chinese Super League, and a South Korean striker, but there was no follow-up. The most recent to enter the sights of Xinpeng City is the top scorer of Karagümlük, who just finished third in the Turkish First Division last month, Brazilian striker Wesley. Earlier this year, Wesley had an affair with the Shanghai Port.

At 1.91 metres tall and weighing 93 kilograms, the 28-year-old Wesley is a typical high school striker who has also played as a midfielder during his career. Wesley has played for Villa, Club Brugge, Stoke City, Levante and Inter Brasil and has a good impact up front.

Wesley made 130 appearances for Belgian giants Club Brugge in the 2016-2019 season, scoring 38 goals and providing 14 assists, winning the Belgian title twice. In the just-concluded 2024-2025 season, Wesley scored 22 goals for Turkish First Division team Karagümrük and became the top scorer in the Turkish First Division.

On June 18, Shenzhen Xinpeng City played a Super League match with Wuhan Three Towns at home, and after the game, Shenzhen Xinpeng City will make foreign aid adjustments. If Wesley is successfully signed, Xinpeng City will adjust a foreign player on the offensive end, and Leonso is more likely to be replaced.
