After his sojourn with Manchester United, many were expecting him to return to his Chinese club but his management team thought otherwise.
The deal in Saudi Arabia is said to be too lucrative to ignore, hence his decision to join Al-Shabab, in the oil rich country.
The deal has already been struck and he is said to have arrived the country to formalise it. Details were not released but both parties are said to be happy at his coming to Saudi Arabia.
