No contacts sync on Google Account

[AC Question]

Hi
have a XIAOMI Mi4C running Android Version 5.1.1.
Added the GMail app and could see in the Account Sync list that it has been added and running fine.
Added Google Contacts and no sync option available ?????

Now I cannot get any of my contacts on the phone....was easily added to my Samsung Galaxy Prime so what could possibly be wrong.

Have followed previous posts and checked permissions etc but no luck !!!

Any suggestions??
