Dalian Yifang have reportedly moved to the brink of sealing a deal for Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco.
The Blue Hawks are currently preparing for their first campaign back in the Chinese Super League, and West Ham United defender Jose Fonte is said to be one of a number of players who could link up with the Asian side.
According to El Pais, Carrasco is also in line to make the switch to China for a fee of just over £26m, bringing to an end a two-and-a-half-year spell with the La Liga giants.
The 24-year-old has scored 23 goals in 123 appearances during his time at the club, but the Belgian international has endured a mixed relationship with boss Diego Simeone and several of his teammates.
Carrasco - whose contract at Atletico runs until 2022 - has made just 13 starts in all competitions this season.
