Hong Kong footballer Dai Wai-tsun has been confirmed in the Wolverhampton Wanderers squad for the English Premier League season.
Although the English top flight started last month, clubs are only beginning to confirm their 25-man lists of players they will use for the coming campaign.
Squads need to include at least eight “home-grown” players in them. These are defined as any player who, irrespective of nationality, has been registered with an English club for three seasons before their 21st birthday.

Dai, better known as Tsun Dai in England, fits those criteria. He has been in England since he was 12, having first played with Reading before moving to now-disbanded Bury, where he made his EFL League One debut. He moved to Oxford United in 2018 and then made the surprise move to the English Premier League with Wolves in the summer.
