Wang Shanshan (Chinese: 王珊珊; pinyin: Wáng Shānshān; born 27 January 1990) is a Chinese association football player who plays for Chinese Women's Super League club Tianjin Shengde.

International career

Wang played at the 2011 Summer Universiade.[2] She made her senior team debut in March 2012 against Germany.[3] In April 2015, she scored in China's 2–1 friendly defeat to England.[4]

At the 2018 Asian Games, she scored 9 goals against Tajikistan after appearing as a 56th-minute substitute.[5]

To date, she has scored 55 goals in 146 appearances.

Style of play

Wang can play in many positions, but she mainly plays as a striker. Chinese press likens her to Ruud Gullit as a result.

Coach Hao Wei took advantage of her all-roundedness at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, playing her both in defence and attack.[6]
