Inamoto heads to Cardiff
Japanese World Cup midfielder Junichi Inamoto has moved from Premier League club West Bromwich Albion to Cardiff City in the second, or Championship, division on a one-month loan in an attempt to return to competitive fitness.
Inamoto, who transferred to West Brom in the summer, hasn't made a first team appearance for the Baggies after a breaking his ankle while playing for Japan against England in May.
Although he has played several games for the Albion reserves, he is not considered fit enough for Premier League action.
Sheffield picks up Hai
Veteran Chinese international Hai Hai-dong is set to move to English soccer with Sheffield United.
The Blades have offered the forward a 2 1/2-year contract after he was released by his Chinese club, Dalian Shide.
"He is still playing in the Chinese team and he's a big tough lad who will do well," said Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock, whose club is in fifth place in the second, or Championship, division.
"He is going to come initially as a player but he will do some coaching work for us and will eventually return to China with our academy.
