Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven announced yesterday they will sign Chinese international Sun Xiang.

The left back from Shanghai Shenhua will be on loan for the first half year and is likely to be given a longer contract if does well for the team, according to PSV technical manager Stan Valckx.

The 24-year-old joined the club's training camp in November last year with his twin brother Sun Ji.

The duo had already been invited for a trial at PSV earlier last year, but were unable to attend due to Chinese Super League commitments.

"I think my playing style fits PSV," Sun said after training camp in Novermber.
