Dundee Signs Chinese Fan Zhiyi

Scottish premier league side Dundee have completed the signing of Crystal Palace defender Fan Zhiyi, reports said Monday in London.

The Chinese international helped his country qualify for next year's World Cup finals in Japan and Korea.

Dens Park co-ordinator Dario Magri has spent the last week in China for talks with the player and the deal was struck.

A spokesman for the club confirmed: "Dundee Football Club is delighted to confirm that Chinese international defender Fan Zhiyi has signed for the club.

"The player who has previously been with Crystal Palace put pen to paper at the end of negotiations that have taken place over the weekend in China.

"The club are now seeking relevant paperwork that will provide the player with clearance to play.

"As with any deal the terms of the contract remain a private matter between the two parties concerned."
