The former Real Madrid and Manchester City striker will don the No. 11 jersey for the Dubai-based club and looks to have joined in time for their third match in the UAE Pro League, as they take on reigning champions Al Ain.

The first leg finished 2-0 to Kashima three weeks ago, but Go Oiwa’s side almost offered Tianjin some early encouragement when they gifted Alexandre Pato a free sight of goal in just the third minute at Macau Olympic Stadium.

The former AC Milan star could only direct his close-range attempt straight at a relieved Kwoun Sun-Tae though, and within 10 minutes it was instead Kashima opening the scoring as Serginho nodded home a Yasushi Endo corner from in front of Tianjin goalkeeper Zhang Lu.

An initially tight first leg remained scoreless until the final 15 minutes, when Montenegrin striker Dejan Damjanovic netted twice before Han Eui-kwon also got on the scoresheet to leave the 2006 and 2016 AFC Champions League winners staring elimination in the face.

Jeonbuk now need to score at least three at Suwon World Cup Stadium to have any chance of remaining in the competition, while the hosts will know a goal would all but kill the tie off as they look to secure their second appearance in the semi-finals.

The Iranian side came from 2-0 down on aggregate to record a 3-2 victory, with goals from Jalal Hosseini, and Godwin Mensha either side of a Sultan Al Brake own goal helping them turn the tie around at Azadi Stadium.

Coming into the home second leg with a slim one-goal disadvantage, Persepolis found themselves another goal down after 33 minutes as Al Duhail captain Karim Boudiaf capitalised on a poor defensive clearance.

The Brazilian attacker has signed for the Jets following a short stint with Yanbian Funde FC in China League One.

The 30 year-old has spent much of his career in the K-League, including stints with Jeju United and the Jeonnam Dragons – netting 46 goals in 110 appearances in South Korea’s top flight competition.

Jair also enjoyed loan stints with the Emirates Club in the UAE and Japan’s Kashima Antlers.

Jets boss, Ernie Merrick said the dynamic attacker was a welcome addition for the 2018/19 campaign.

“Jair has great experience, attacking flair and has played at a couple of Korea’s biggest clubs,” Merrick said.

This move marks Lee's fourth club, having previously played for FC Seoul, Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace.

The 30-year-old offensive all-rounder is known as the 'Blue Dragon' back in Korea Republic, having donned the Taeguk Warriors' jersey 79 times, and scoring eight goals in the English Premier League.
