[Beefy 1965]

Yuning Zhang (20 yr) striker signed on undisclosed fee.

But loaned out immediately https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2017/july/alb...ect-zhang/

Just seen this on SSN, can't make any sense of it to be honest. Buy a player from Vitesse Arnhem then loan him out for 2 years to Werder Bremen  

I think if you read between the lines we would not get a work permit for him at the moment as China are outside the top 50 on Fifa's World rankings

In Two years time China probably will be or at least the two years in Germany will allow us to get a permit one way or another in 2019

Also the biggest talent in China for years ............. Apparently

Already capped 9 times for China !!

West Bromwich Albion have completed the signing of Chinese international striker Zhang Yuning.

The 20-year-old forward, considered one of China's hottest young prospects, has signed a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
Capped nine times by China, Yuning will have to wait to make his Baggies bow having immediately joined Bundesliga side Werder Bremen on loan for two years owing to work permit issues.

Yuning's arrival from Eredivisie outfit Vitesse Arnhem furthers Albion's Chinese links in a deal described as a "development project" by the Club.

Richard Garlick, Albion's Director of Football Administration, flew to Germany this week to tie up the details of the three-club deal.

"Zhang will get the chance to further develop at Bremen, with whom we have an excellent relationship," Garlick said.

"He will be challenging for a place in a top European league and we will be monitoring his progress before reassessing his prospects at the end of the loan period.

"There is no doubt he has a lot of qualities which Bremen are well-positioned to grow and develop.
