Man City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is to sign the first Thai player in the Premiership. Thaksin Shinawatra is reportedly influenced the purchase of Thai international Suree Sukha (or Suri Sukha), and Eriksson will travel to Thailand to complete the transfer this week.
"Sven will be here on the 16th," Ong-Arj Kosinkar, the Thai FA general security told Reuters. "He is interested in three Thai players but he will sign Suree for sure."
If the deal goes through, the 25-year-old attacking fullback, who earns just $300 a week in the domestic league, will become the first Thai to sign for a top-flight European club.
Along with fellow Thais Kiatprawut Saiwaeo and Teerasil Dangda, Suree was invited for trials at City by ousted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
