The seven-time Qatari champions have not appeared in the AFC Champions League group stage since 2013 and will look to end that absence when they take on Uzbek side Pakhtakor in the play-off for the 2018 edition on January 30.

Dutch international Sneijder is undoubtedly one of the biggest names to move to the region in the January transfer window and arrives on the back of a glittering career in Europe.

The Korea Republic club said they have signed Son - who was with Pohang Steelers - to a four-year contract. 

Jeonbuk said Son will strengthen their midfield with Lee Jae-sung, last year's K League Classic MVP.

The 25-year-old was also a member of the Korea Republic U23 national team that won the gold medal at the 2014 Asian Games.

"Tevez is coming home! He joined the team today and is already training with his teammates," Boca said on their various social media accounts alongside a photo of the player working out in a gym.

It will be the 33-year-old's third spell at Boca Juniors.

Tevez joined Shenhua in January last year and a spokesman had said on Friday the club had been in talks with the globetrotting Argentine to end his contract.

Tevez scored four goals in the Chinese championship during an injury-marred season in which he missed the Chinese Cup Final which his team won.

He was not in the squad for either leg of the final against Shanghai SIPG and flew back to Argentina just as his side lifted the trophy.
