Chan Siu Ki (Chinese: 陳肇麒; Jyutping: can4 siu6 kei4, born 14 July 1985, Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong footballer who plays as a striker for Hong Kong Premier League club HK Pegasus. He is the all-time top scorer for the Hong Kong national football team with 34 goals. As he is capable of playing with either feet, he is sometimes tactically deployed as winger on either flanks.
Chan was spotted by the management of Tai Po when he was playing amateur soccer. At that time, he was working in a store operated by his family. He was responsible for stock delivery and eventually developed a strong physique. He played for Tai Po in the Hong Kong Third Division League. He was spotted by Rangers and joined them. However, he was almost immediately loaned and then sold to Kitchee and thus never played for Rangers.
At Kitchee, Chan developed into a strong and pacy striker as the club employed a 4–3–3 system. As he continued to impress, he was called up to the Hong Kong team in 2005. However, he was later involved in several disciplinary incidents at Kitchee and was suspended from playing duties by the club management. At the end of 2007–08 season, he joined arch-rivals South China for $800,000 HK, breaking the former transfer fee record of $500,000, paid by South China for Chan Wai Ho.
At South China, Chan inherited the no. 7 shirt vacated by Au Wai Lun. In the 2008–2009 season, he primarily played on the right wing because the centre forward position was often occupied by Detinho or Cacá.In the 2009–10 season, with the signing of right winger Lee Wai Lim, Chan competed with new signing Leandro Carrijó for his preferred centre forward position after Cacá's return to Brazil. On 1 August 2009, at the Panasonic Invitation Cup, Chan scored the first goal in South China's 2–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur with an dipping half-volley from 30 yards. Subsequently, after the two clubs forged a partnership, he joined the Spurs for a two-week trial at some point during December 2009.
