Edmilson, the Brazilian striker who has been playing for Chinese Super League (CSL) club Shandong Luneng Taishan since last year, has signed a new contract with the team for another two seasons.

The news was announced by the club on its official website on Tuesday. Edmilson, who is currently in China to prepare for the upcoming season, will continue to play for the team until the end of June 2024.

The 31-year-old striker, who joined Shandong Luneng from Brazil's Santos FC in January last year, has already made a significant impact at the club. He has scored 26 goals and provided 19 assists in 57 appearances in all competitions so far this season.

"Edmilson is an important player for our team," said Shandong Luneng manager Mauro Bielli. "He has proven himself as one of the best strikers in Asia and we are very happy that he will be staying with us for another two seasons."

The announcement comes after a difficult period for Edmilson, who had to undergo surgery for a knee injury earlier this year. However, he has recovered well and is now fully fit again ahead of the new season.

"We are thrilled that Edmilson has decided to stay with us for another two years," said Shandong Luneng president Zhang Jun. "We believe that his experience and skills will be a great asset to our team and we look forward to working closely with him once again."

Edmilson's decision to renew his contract with Shandong Luneng is a testament to his commitment to the team and his desire to continue playing at the highest level. It also shows the club's faith in his ability to perform at the highest level and contribute to their success.

As he prepares for the new season, Edmilson will no doubt be looking forward to continuing his impressive form and helping Shandong Luneng achieve their goals.
