Alan Douglas Borges de Carvalho ( born 10 July 1989), or simply Alan and pronounced in Mandarin as A Lan (Chinese: 阿兰; pinyin: Ā Lán), is a professional footballer who plays as a forward. Born in Brazil, he plays for the China national team.
After spells in Brazil with Londrina and Fluminense, Alan joined Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg in 2010. There he established himself in the first team and became an intrinsic part of the squad. His playing time was limited in the 2011–12 season owing to an injury. Nevertheless, Alan scored regularly for the club, including many hat-tricks. In 2015, after playing nearly 130 matches for the Austrian side and scoring nearly 100 goals, he signed with Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande.
