The complicated transfer saga surrounding Chinese international defender Xiang Sun is about to come to an end. The left back is thought to have persuated his club Shanghai Shenhua into letting him go and joining the Eindhoven giants. Sun and his twin brother Jin Sun were on trial at the Dutch club earlier, but only now did PSV's interest materialise. Xiang Sun will join the club initially on a six-month loan with an option for three year contract on permanent basis, if he manages to impress manager Ronald Koeman.

The player will still play some friendly matches with Chinese national team in Spain and travel to China to finalise the details on his transfer before linking up with his new employers. He becomes the first Chinese to play at Eredivisie.
