Denny Wang Yi (Chinese: 王毅; born 15 April 1998) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Chinese Super League club Wuhan Three Towns. Born in Italy, he renounced his Italian passport to receive the Chinese citizenship in 2021.
As a youth player, Wang joined the youth academy of Juventus and initially played as a midfielder. He continued his development with fourth tier Italian club Borgosesia, where he graduated to their senior team within the 2017–18 Serie D campaign. While he gained playing time as a right-back at Borgosesia, his contract was not extended and he trained with Chinese club Shenzhen while he looked to change his Italian nationality to Chinese.
On 14 March 2021, Wang regained his Chinese nationality and signed for Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua. He made his debut in a Chinese FA Cup game on 14 October 2021 against Sichuan Minzu in a 3-0 victory. Wang made his league debut on 12 December 2021 against Qingdao in a 3-0 victory. After this game he would go on to establish himself as a regular member of the team and go on to score his first goal on 25 November 2022 against Beijing Guoan in a 2-1 defeat.
On 4 April 2023, Wang did not sign his contract with Shenhua and joined defending Chinese Super League champions Wuhan Three Towns. On 8 April 2023 he made his debut for the club in the 2023 Chinese FA Super Cup against Shandong Taishan in a 2-0 victory.
