The 26-year-old who can play as a right back or right-back is nicknamed “Zhangmos” in China due to his similarities to Real Madrid’s defender Sergio Ramos in playing style and appearance.

The Chelsea hopeful told local media in China on Friday: “I’ve worked hard and waited these five-six years for my dream of playing overseas, and finally have recognition from the English Premier League.
