After being selected for the Chinese U17 team, he played a game on 10 May 2016 against Iran U17 in a 2–1 defeat. His performance impressed Japanese football club Shimizu S-Pulse.[1] On 30 March 2018, Wu made his move abroad to Shimizu S-Pulse's youth team.[2]

Guangzhou Evergrande

[edit | edit source]

On 3 February 2019, Wu returned to China to join top-flight club Guangzhou Evergrande, who immediately loaned him out to second-tier Japanese club Kyoto Sanga.[3] Despite being promoted to the senior team, he did not receive any playing time for Kyoto Sanga and returned to Guangzhou. He made his senior debut in the final game of the season against Shanghai Shenhua on 1 December 2019, where he came on as a late substitute in a 3–0 victory.[4]

On 16 October 2020, Wu scored his first career goal in a 3–1 win over Hebei China Fortune in the quarter-finals of the 2020 Chinese Super League championship playoffs.[5][6]

İstanbul Başakşehir

[edit | edit source]

On 10 January 2023, Wu signed for Süper Lig club İstanbul Başakşehir on a two-and-a-half-year contract, until the summer of 2025.[7] This made Wu the first Chinese footballer to play professionally in Turkey.[8] On 17 May 2023, Wu made his debut for the club in a 1–1 home draw against Ümraniyespor.[6][9]

Loan to Gençlerbirliği

[edit | edit source]

On 18 July 2023, Wu joined TFF First League club Gençlerbirliği on loan for the 2023-24 season.[10]

Loan to Radomiak Radom

[edit | edit source]

In early September 2024, Polish club Radomiak Radom agreed on a deal with İstanbul Başakşehir to loan Wu until the end of the season.[11] After several weeks of waiting to obtain a work permit,[12][13] Wu's signing was confirmed on 17 October.[14] In January 2025, he was recalled by İstanbul without making an appearance.[15]

Beijing Guoan

[edit | edit source]

On 30 January 2025, İstanbul Başakşehir announced that Wu is leaving the Turkish side and joining Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan.[16]

International career

[edit | edit source]

On 24 July 2022, Wu made his international debut in a 0–0 draw against Japan in the 2022 EAFF E-1 Football Championship, as the Chinese FA decided to field the U-23 national team for this senior competition.[17]

On 12 December 2023, Wu was named in China's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.[18][19]
