The Chinese Super League are prepared to pay a top England footballer a staggering £800,000 a week to join their revolution.
Many of the high-profile players who have already signed up are in the latter stages of their careers, but now the mega-rich league wants an England player in his prime.
Tottenham's Dele Alli, 20, and Harry Kane, 23, Ross Barkley, 23, of Everton and Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge, 27, are leading targets and intermediaries of those players have already been contacted.
The Chinese believe luring a major English talent will add credibility to the competition.
