Club career

Born in Anhui, Wu started at the Evergrande Football School in Guangdong, before joining Guangzhou.[1][2] He was promoted to the senior team and made his debut for the club in a Chinese FA Cup game on 26 November 2020 against Kunshan F.C. in a 3-0 defeat.[3] After this lone appearance, Wu moved on loan to Sporting de Gijón in Spain alongside teammates He Xinjie and Jiang Weilang.[1][4] He was assigned to Sporting de Gijón B for the season.[1]

After his loan ended, he returned to Guangzhou, however the clubs majority shareholder was in financial trouble and the club lost several key players. As a result, the team was relegated from the top-tier following the 2022 Chinese Super League campaign, ending their twelve-season stay in the top flight.[5] Wu remained with the team and went on to establish himself as a regular within the team.[6]
