Sheffield United have signed Chinese international defender Zhang Yaokun on loan for the rest of the season from Super League Club Dalian Shide. The 24-year-old who has played more than 30 times for his country joins the Bramall Lane club in a deal worth around �70,000.
Yaokun was handed a trial in mid-December and has impressed Blades manager Neil Warnock.
The move is part of United's attempts to forge strong links in China.
