Will Wang Yidong (19, Zhejiang FC), a promising young talent in Chinese football, become a teammate of South Korean national team forward Cho Gue-sung (28)? Wang directly addressed the transfer rumors linking him to Denmark's Midtjylland.

Chinese football-focused media outlet Zhibo Ba reported on the 10th, "Wang Yidong responded at the Chinese Professional Football League awards ceremony regarding the recent speculation about his move to Europe."

According to the report, when asked about the possibility of moving to Europe, Wang replied, "I still need to consult with my club. I will let you all know if there is any news."

This transfer rumor is certainly one that draws attention from South Korean football fans as well. This is because Wang is being linked to Midtjylland, the club where South Korean national team forward Cho Gue-sung plays.

When reporters asked, "The name of the Danish club Midtjylland is already appearing online. What do you think?" Wang gave a cautious answer.

While stating, "Can we believe what people say on the internet?" he also said, "I will let you know if there is any news." In other words, he neither confirmed the transfer rumors nor completely denied the possibility of a move to Europe.

Previously, Chinese media reported that Wang could transfer to Midtjylland through the winter transfer market in January next year. Although German Bundesliga clubs have also shown interest in Wang, it was explained that Midtjylland, where he can secure playing time in the first division, could be an attractive option.

Cho Gue-sung, who previously played for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in K League 1, has been active at Midtjylland since 2023. South Korean midfielder Hong Hyun-seok also joined on loan last September. If Wang's transfer to Midtjylland is finalized, he will share the same locker room with South Korean players such as Cho Gue-sung and Hong Hyun-seok.

Wang Yidong is evaluated as a promising player who will take charge of the future of Chinese football. Born in 2006, he was selected for the Chinese senior national team despite his young age and recorded nine goals and seven assists in 29 matches in the Chinese Super League this season. Recognizing these performances, he was also named to the Best XI of the 2026 season Chinese Super League.

In particular, after the final league match of this season, he was captured shedding tears in front of fans, which further fueled the buzz. In response, local Chinese media interpreted that Wang may have been saying goodbye to his fans ahead of his move to Europe.

Regarding the tears, Wang explained, "This year, we did not achieve the results we had hoped for. However, whether we were doing well or facing difficulties, the fans supported us unconditionally." He added, "It was truly moving that so many fans came to the final match as well. I am sincerely grateful."

His club also mentioned the possibility of Wang's move to Europe. Zhibo Ba reported on the same day that Yang Tian, director of Zhejiang FC, was asked about Wang's overseas transfer situation at the awards ceremony.

Director Yang Tian stated, "We are currently discussing several important details."

He continued, "From the club's perspective, we actively support Chinese players going abroad to play and gain experience," adding, "It is a very good thing that can contribute not only to the development of the Chinese national team but also to the entire Chinese football community."

However, Director Yang Tian emphasized, "The most important thing is that when a player goes overseas, every aspect must be carefully considered."

He explained, "First, we must ensure they can adapt to European football," adding, "Above all, the most important thing is that they must actually be able to play in matches."
