Mousa Dembele has been lined up for a megabucks move to Chinese club Beijing Guoan.
The Tottenham midfielder, 30, just has one year left on his contract – and boss Mauricio Pochettino is considering moving him on as part of a close-season rebuild.
Wealthy Chinese Super League side Guoan have now set their sights on the Belgium international.
And reports suggest the capital city outfit are willing to offer ex-Fulham ace Dembele £150,000 a week.
Dembele‘s fellow Belgium stars Axel Witsel and Yannick Carrasco are already playing in China, for Tianjin Quanjin and Dalian Yifang respectively.
The Spurs ace has ongoing concerns about his fitness. He underwent ankle surgery last summer, and has just ended the season with another ankle problem.

The highly-regarded midfielder is now likely to be tempted by the gentler pace of CSL fixtures, not to mention the vast salaries on offer.
Guoan currently lie third in the table, just a point behind leaders Shanghai East Asia.
Dembele is set to hold talks soon with Pochettino and club officials about his Spurs future.
And the former AZ Alkmaar ace, a £15million buy from Fulham, could now end his six-year North London stay for a move to the Far East.
