China's second choice World Cup goalkeeper An Qui is heading for Newcastle United as part of a new exchange deal.
The 6ft 4in Dalian United player will head for St James' Park in December to train with Bobby's Robson's squad as the Magpies develop their links with the Far East.
But the 19-year-old, who was on the bench for China's 2-0 defeat by Costa Rica, will not be arriving on a permanent basis because he does not fulfil the requirements for a work permit.
Meanwhile, United have insisted they have received no bids for Shay Given's deputy Steve Harper amid claims that Watford are ready to offer £800,000 for his services.
