CSL club Shanghai Port unveils 4 new players

Shanghai Port FC鈥檚 four new players met local fans and media at the Chinese Super League club鈥檚 training center in Pudong鈥檚 Century Park over the weekend.

The four newcomers are all back-field players: Croatia center-back Ante Majstorovic, defenders Li Ang and Ablahan Halike, and goalkeeper Du Jia. The 27-year-old Majstorovic was introduced to Shanghai by the club鈥檚 new Croatian manager Ivan Leko. He becomes the Chinese Super League side鈥檚 fifth foreign player after Brazil duo Oscar and Ricardo Lopes, Austria鈥檚 Marko Arnautovic and Aaron Mooy of Australia. Li, 28, is a former Chinese national youth team player. He had been with Jiangsu FC since 2014 before the 2020 CSL champion encountered financial crisis earlier this year. Goalie Du Jia is also 28 years old and had been Tianjin FC鈥檚 starting goalie since 2015. He represented China at the U23 Asian Cup in 2016. The 19-year-old Ablahan, from northwestern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, can be deployed both as a defender and a winger. The 2021 Chinese Super League will kick off next month in the two cities of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, and Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
