HONG KONG (AFP) - English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have offered a trial to a Hong Kong international striker who scored against the London giants in a pre-season friendly, a news report said Wednesday.
Chan Siu-ki, 24, will have 10 days to impress Spurs boss Harry Redknapp next month, the South China Morning Post said.
The forward has scored 22 goals in 27 appearances for his club South China, the newspaper said, and netted with a long-distance volley against Spurs when the two teams met in Hong Kong in the summer.
The Hong Kong champions and Tottenham on Tuesday agreed a "club partnership", the paper said, in an effort to boost the English side's profile in Asia.

Absolutely right. It is no good to contaminate football for commercial reason. Beckham came first, then C Ronaldo, superstars ? What a shame. Tottenham must know that that Hongkong player really has no chance at all.
It does get annoying when teams buy these asian players that are never going to make it just for the sake of selling a few more shirts. There's onle been about 3 that ever been even half successful and only one thats ever played for and won with a top team
