Wolfsburg poised to sign Zhang

GERMAN Bundesliga high-flyer VfL Wolfsburg expects to complete the signing of China midfielder Zhang Xizhe from Beijing Guo’an in the coming days, Wolves’ director of sport Klaus Allofs said yesterday.

“We are confident of completing the signing of Zhang Xizhe and of officially presenting him as a new signing in the coming week,” Allofs told the club’s website.

Zhang, 23, scored six goals in 29 Chinese Super League games for Beijing last season as an attacking midfielder and has been learning German. He was also named in the CSL’s team of the year for 2013 and 2014.

“I have been in contact with Wolfsburg for more than a year,” said the China international, who was voted the 2012 young player of the year by the Chinese Football Association. “I have started to learn German and see it as just a matter of time before things get going.”
