Yang Xu ({{zh|s=杨旭|t=楊旭|p=Yáng Xù}}; born 12 February 1988) is a former Chinese professional footballer who last played for Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua.

Club career

=Liaoning Whowin=

Yang Xu started his football career when he made his debut for Liaoning Whowin on 16 April 2005 in a 1–0 loss against Shanghai Shenhua.{{cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/s/2005-04-17/0945544450s.shtml|title=杨旭心态正处子秀挺成功 辽足喜获未来锋线杀手|publisher=sports.sina.com.cn|date=2005-04-17|access-date=2012-09-20}} He scored his first goal for the club on 5 May 2005 in a 3–1 win against Shenzhen Jianlibao.{{cite web|url=http://sports.sohu.com/20050515/n225572299.shtml|title=辽小虎陈兴独中两元 健力宝1–3辽宁遇五连败 评|publisher=sports.sohu.com|date=2005-05-15|access-date=2012-09-20}} By the end of the 2005 season, Yang scored three league goals in 11 appearances and saw his club finish in a tenth-place position. The following season would see Yang continue to establish himself with the squad by making a further 20 league appearances and scoring three goals; however, most of his appearances came from the bench.{{cite web|url=http://csldata.sports.sohu.com/player.php?regnum=MA35120&season=2006|title=球员资料-中超数据库-搜狐|publisher=csldata.sports.sohu.com|date=2006-09-23|access-date=2012-09-20}} By the 2008 season, he was still a squad player trying to establish himself as the main striker within the team; however, he was unable to help Liaoning avoid relegation at the end of the season. Staying with the club, Yang was promoted to first-choice striker at the start of the 2009 league season and he would repay them with 15 league goals in 22 appearances, making him the second best goalscorer in the league.{{cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/b/2009-03-28/17424294051.shtml|title=中甲射手榜：南昌外援18球称王 辽足新国脚穿银靴|publisher=sports.sina.com|date=2009-10-25|access-date=2012-09-20|url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811021803/http://sports.sina.com.cn/b/2009-03-28/17424294051.shtml |archivedate=2011-08-11}} His goals would aid Liaoning to win the division title and immediate promotion back to the top flight.

=Shandong Luneng=

On 27 February 2013, Yang transferred to fellow Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng. In July 2014, he was loaned to Changchun Yatai for the rest of the 2014 season.

=Tianjin Quanjian=

On 26 February 2017, Yang transferred to fellow top-tier side Tianjin Quanjian and was immediately loaned to his former club Liaoning Whowin for one season.{{cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/china/j/2017-02-26/doc-ifyavvsh6837095.shtml|title=鲁能官方宣布杨旭转会权健 2017赛季先租借辽足|publisher=Sina|date=2017-02-26|access-date=2017-02-28}} He made his first appearance since returning to the club on 3 March 2017 in a 1–1 draw against Guizhou Zhicheng.{{cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/china/j/2017-03-03/doc-ifycaafm5033884.shtml|title=中超-石笑天染红耶拉维奇点杀 贵州主场1–1辽足|publisher=sports.sina.com|date=2017-03-03|access-date=2017-03-05|language=zh}} He returned to Quanjian ahead of the 2018 season, scoring 18 goals in 62 appearances across 2 seasons.

=Shanghai Shenhua=

On 15 July 2020, Yang joined Shanghai Shenhua on a free transfer following the disbandment of Tianjin Tianhai.{{cite web|url=https://www.chinanews.com.cn/ty/2020/07-15/9239043.shtml|title=上海申花连宣三人！马丁斯回归、天海两旧将加盟|publisher=Chinanews|date=2020-07-15|access-date=2023-04-13}} On 18 September 2020, he scored his first goal for the club, a penalty in a 1-1 draw against Guangzhou R&F in the first round of 2020 Chinese FA Cup, and Shenhua subsequently lost 5-3 in the penalty shootout. As a prolific centre forward throughout his career, Yang suffered from goal drought in his first 2 seasons at Shenhua. On 8 June 2022, Yang finally scored his first league goal for the club in a 2-0 win over derby rivals Shanghai Port.{{cite web|url=https://sports.sina.com.cn/china/j/2022-06-08/doc-imizirau7274751.shtml|title=中超-巴索戈杨旭进球 申花2-0两连胜送海港两连败|publisher=Sina Sports|date=2022-06-08|access-date=2023-04-13|language=zh}}

On 11 April 2023, Yang announced his retirement from professional football via livestream.

International career

Yang was called up to the Chinese national team and made his international debut on 30 September 2009 in a 4–1 win against Botswana.{{cite web|url=http://teamchina.freehostia.com/match.php?lang=en&date=2009-09-30|title=China PR 4–1 Botswana|publisher=teamchina.freehostia.com|date=2009-09-30|access-date=2018-01-19}} Despite playing for a second-tier side he would be tried out in several friendlies before he was given his chance to play in a qualifying match for the AFC Asian Cup in a 2–1 win against Vietnam on 17 January 2010 where he also scored his debut goal.{{cite web|url=http://teamchina.freehostia.com/en/match.php?date=2010-01-17|title=China PR 2–1 Vietnam|publisher=teamchina.freehostia.com|date=2010-01-17|access-date=2012-09-20}} On 30 March 2011, he scored twice in a 3–0 win against Honduras and on 23 July 2011, he scored a hat-trick in a 7–2 win against Laos.
