Steven Defour admits next destination could be China after starring role for Burnley against Bristol City

Steven Defour steered Burnley into the fifth round – and then admitted his next destination could be China.

The Belgian midfielder, who set up the Clarets’ first and killed off Bristol City with an eye-catching chip, has previously spoken of his unhappiness with a lack of first team football following a £7.5m summer switch from Anderlecht.

And earlier this month, his agent revealed that a lucrative move to the far east would be something the player would consider.
