Celtic break new ground with signing of Chinese midfielder
Celtic Women have completed the signing of midfielder Shen Mengyu from Shanghai Shengli.
The 19-year-old, subject to international clearance, will become the first Chinese women’s footballer to play in the United Kingdom.
Mengyu is a Chinese internationalist and was in the provisional squad for the 2020 Olympics and burst to prominence after scoring at the 2018 Under-20 World Cup at the age of 17.
The move bolsters Fran Alonso’s squad ahead of the new campaign, which includes Celtic’s first foray into the Champions League.
