Carrasco blasted by Dalian Yifang boss: He got booked on purpose & demanded written promise he could quit

Dalian Yifang boss Choi Kang-hee has hit out at reported Arsenal transfer target Yannick Carrasco for "unprofessional" behaviour and claims that he got booked on purpose to incur a suspension so as to avoid playing.

Carrasco has frequently reiterated his desire to return to Europe after leaving Atletico Madrid last year and has been strongly linked with the Gunners since the start of 2019.

Indeed, the Chinese Super League club announced they had banned the player from training after claiming that he was "absent from the game against Hebei CFFC and missed training for no reason".
