Yang Fan, a former member of Tianjin Teda's first-team squad and a defender who moved to Beijing Guoan for the 2020 season, is discussing the details of his arrival with the Tsimshatsui Tigers. He is expected to arrive in Shanghai this week to join the team. 26-year-old Yang Fan's contract with Guoan is set to expire at the end of the year. The Tigers have been negotiating with Guoan and Yang Fan himself to bring him in on loan this season. The process has been going on quietly, as Yang Fan has been training with Guoan in Kunming since February 8, and participated in the first phase of training until February 27, when the team went on vacation.
