Wang Peng (Chinese: 王鹏; pinyin: Wáng Péng; born 16 November 1997) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Guangzhou E-Power. He is the son of Chinese former international Wang Huiliang.[1]
Wang Peng would go abroad to further his football development and play for the Portuguese club Gondomar's youth team. He would be promoted to the Gondomar B team who were allowed to participate within the Portuguese football pyramid before joining their senior team. Wang would make his debut for the senior team in a league game on 14 May 2017 against Gouveia in a 2–1 defeat.[2] On 30 September 2017, he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw against Felgueiras 1932.[citation needed]
In July 2018, Wang was loaned to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F (now known as Guangzhou City).[3] On 18 August 2018, he made his debut for the club in a 5–2 home win over Changchun Yatai, coming on as a substitute for Zhang Jiajie in the 89th minute.[4][5] The following season he would permanently move to Guangzhou and go on to establish himself as a regular within the team, however in the next campaign the Head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst would only give Wang two appearances throughout the season and on 5 July 2021 he was loaned out to second-tier club Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard.[6]
