Chinese Super League (CSL) club Dalian Yingbo announced on Wednesday that it has signed Mamadou Traore of Mali and Cephas Malele from Switzerland.

The CSL newcomer made the announcement in a lengthy statement which presented introduction of the two players without giving any details of their contracts.

"Malele will notably strengthen Dalian Yingbo's firing power upfront," and Traore "can bring sustainability to Dalian Yingbo's defense," the statement wrote.

Prior to the Dalian side's announcement, Traore and Malele have joined up with the team for pre-season training.
