East Asian flavour spicing up the action in Europe as transfer window opens

PETALING JAYA: The transfer window opened in Europe and Asia was in a flurry as top European clubs either signed or put Asian players on trial. 

Chinese international striker Qu Bo has arrived at Dutch club Feyenoord for week-long trials with last season's UEFA Cup champions; South Korean side Anyang Cheetahs confirmed that star midfielder Lee Young-pyo will be loaned out to PSV Eindhoven for six months, with a possible full transfer later and Japanese World Cup midfielder Kazuyuki Toda arrived in England for a two-week trial at English Premier League side Sunderland.
