  • The Blues are understood to have agreed fee to sign the Chinese defender, as they seek further reinforcements for Branislav Ivanovic in the right-back role.

    "I've worked hard and waited these five-six years for my dream of playing overseas, and finally have recognition from the English Premier League."
