Chinese Super League golden boot holder Eran Zahavi has finalised his move from Guangzhou R&F to PSV Eindhoven, the Dutch side confirmed on Sunday.
The Israel striker left his Chinese club to play for his country in the Uefa Nations League and was not expected to return, with interest from several European clubs.
Zahavi, 33, joins up with former Beijing Guoan coach Roger Schmidt at PSV, who are also reported to be interested in signing South Korean defender Kim Min-jae from the Beijing club.
Writing in Hebrew on Instagram, Zahavi expressed his delight at the move.
“Fulfilling dreams is also possible late in the career if you work hard enough and believe,” he wrote.
“I went with the heart and the professional challenge to a team that I think believes in me and my abilities and fits my style of play.
