Club career
Wang started his career with Jiangsu Suning, before joining the Evergrande Football School.[3] He was promoted to the senior team and made his debut in a Chinese FA Cup game on 16 November 2022 against Sichuan Jiuniu.[4] He had a run of games with the team as the club went through a turbulent period beginning in 2022, suffering financial instability and, ultimately, relegation following the 2022 Chinese Super League campaign, ending their twelve-season stay in the top flight.[5] Wang remained with the team and went on to establish himself as a regular with the club.[6]
Style of play
Wang has drawn comparisons to Japanese footballer Shinji Kagawa for their similar physique and style of play.[7]
