There is a player who wants to give up his Norwegian nationality and go to China, which is a hot topic.

China's Sohu Dotcom reported on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time) 'Zheng Zhou Yan's market value recently surpassed 1 million euros (about 15.8 billion won), setting a new career high. He has emerged as Sannefjord's main flanker since returning from injury and has been impressive with four goals and two assists in eight league games this season," he said.

According to reports, Zheng's ancestors are from Zhejiang, China, and he is very interested in naturalizing the Chinese national team, but he is willing to give up his Norwegian citizenship only if there is a guarantee that he can join the national team stably. If he can join the Chinese national team, his ransom would be third behind Sergio and Wang Ying-dong, and he is the national team's rarest left-footed side resource, claiming that Zheng wants to be naturalized in China.

The Chinese name is Zheng Zhouyan and in English, Christopher Chung was born in 2001. Born in Oslo, Norway, he is from overseas Chinese. Although he is from overseas Chinese, he has no relationship with China in his career. He grew up in Norway and succeeded in entering the Norwegian league through the Norwegian club.

In terms of career, I am Zheng Zhouyan, who grew up in Stavek Port Val, Norway, and settled in Strömen IF through a loan. Although Strömen was a member of Norway's second division, Jung Je-yen jumped to the starting lineup at a young age and succeeded in a complete transfer. In a year, the team fell to the third division, but Zheng's potential for development was captured by the radar network of Norway's first division Sannefjord.

Even after moving to Sannefior in the 2024 season, Jung Jeoyen expanded his position as he was recognized as the main player. In the 2025 season, Jung is having the best time of his life. Jung Je-yen, who has firmly established himself as Sannefior's main player, is bombing four goals and two assists in eight league games. It is a great offensive point considering that Jung Je-yen is playing as a left fullback.

With his left full-back and attack power, Jung's value soared, becoming the highest ransom in San Nefior. As he is recognized in the Norwegian league, he will be able to even try to get on board for the Norwegian national team, but surprisingly, Zheng Zhou Yan hopes to play for the Chinese national team.

Norway is not a European powerhouse, but it is a country that can even try to advance to the World Cup. It is a country where Erling Holan and Martin 외degaard play as the main players. China, on the other hand, is a country that is not even soccer-wise comparable to Norway. It is true that soccer does not picture a good future, as it was destroyed in the third qualifying round of the World Cup and cannot be guaranteed for the next World Cup.

If Zheng's naturalization to China is serious, China will welcome Zheng with open arms. China does not have as good a player as Zheng Zhouyan in the left fullback position. If naturalized, it can be seen from the fact that it ranks third in ransom among Chinese players.
