About the player
Xu Haoyang came up through Shanghai Shenhua's Genbao youth academy before his promotion to the first-team squad in July 2018. Rather than settling in straight away, he spent three seasons out on loan, first at Beijing Sport University and then at Wuhan Three Towns across two separate spells, before returning to Shanghai Shenhua on a permanent basis in December 2022.
It was at Wuhan Three Towns that his career gathered real momentum. He was part of the squad that won the Chinese Super League title in 2022. Back at Shanghai Shenhua, he added a Chinese FA Cup winner's medal in 2023, then Chinese Super Cup honours in both 2024 and 2025.
His form in club colours translated into international recognition. After progressing through the China under-19 and under-23 sides, Xu made his senior debut for the national team against Thailand on 6 June 2024, and has since gone on to win nine caps. His market value peaked at €1.7 million in November 2023.
A left-footed... no — a right-footed midfielder who operates on the left of midfield, Xu wears the number 21 shirt for Shanghai Shenhua.
