Premier League clubs have key reservations towards raiding the Chinese Super League amid a player exodus due to cost concerns.
Top-flight clubs have been alerted to the availability of a host of high-profile players currently plying their trade in China following a raft of newly imposed salary restrictions.
Foreign players can now earn a maximum of £2.7million per year - the equivalent of £52,000 per week.
