Nyasha Mushekwi to Return to Chinese Super League After Scoring 25 Goals

Zimbabwean striker Nyasha Mushekwi is poised to make a return to the Chinese Super League after a stellar season with Yunnan Yukun in the Chinese League One. Mushekwi played a pivotal role in leading his team to the League One championship, helping Yukun secure the title with an impressive total of 66 points, clinching the championship with a game to spare.

Stellar Performance

Mushekwi has been in remarkable form throughout the season, currently topping the league’s scoring chart with 25 goals. His latest strike came during a match against Dalian Zhixing over the weekend, showcasing his consistent ability to find the back of the net.

The former Zimbabwe national team forward initially joined Yukun in March 2024 on a free transfer after departing Zhejiang Greentown, where he made history as the club’s all-time top scorer. This season marked his third spell in Chinese football, having previously played for Dalian from 2016 to 2019.

Yunnan Yukun’s Rise

Founded in 2021, Yunnan Yukun has rapidly ascended through the ranks of Chinese football, achieving two consecutive promotions from the fourth-tier league to League One between 2022 and 2023. Mushekwi’s arrival has undoubtedly played a crucial role in their remarkable journey, and his experience will be invaluable as the club prepares for the challenges of the Super League.

Looking Ahead

With the end of the League One season, Mushekwi’s focus now shifts to the upcoming Super League campaign. His goal-scoring ability and seasoned experience will be vital for Yukun as they aim to establish themselves in the top tier of Chinese football.

As fans and analysts eagerly await his performance in the Super League, one thing is certain: Nyasha Mushekwi is ready to make his mark once again in one of the most competitive leagues in Asia.
