Bolton date for China duo
13 Oct 2006 - 13:05:15
Bolton Wanderers are poised to add to their international contingent after agreeing to take Chinese pair Yang Changpeng and Zhou Liao on a month's trial.
The duo currently play for Wuhan FC - who have an alliance with the Premiership club - and will spend a month at Wanderers' academy.
Yang, who stands a little over 6ft 9in, is reputed to be one of the tallest footballers in the world and represented China at under-20 level.
He told Singapore's Today newspaper: "We always dreamed of this moment and the wait appears to be over. It is very exciting.
"It will be a learning experience, but we will strive to perform to the best of our abilities."
