According to Football magazine, the former Celtic women’s football duo will continue their journey abroad next season. Following Shen Menglu’s move to Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, on August 2nd, Shen Mengyu officially announced her joining the Championship side London City Lionesses, aiming to establish herself before challenging the Women’s Super League.
Media commentators noted that, while many Chinese women’s football players are returning home, Shen Mengyu and her former teammate Shen Menglu have made the opposite choice. For Chinese women’s football, playing abroad remains a shortcut to improving player skills and experience, narrowing the gap with Japan and South Korea. In Shen Mengyu’s case, given her current strength, choosing a pragmatic and planned descent is the best way to eventually enter the top women’s leagues.
