Everton have reportedly opened their doors to a Chinese reality television programme in a bid to boost their Asian market.

Global Media Productions' Chinese Football Dream, which aims to help develop talent between the ages of 14 and 17, is believed to be using the services of Everton's Finch Farm training ground.

Part of the 13-week show, which will be aired in September, has been filmed at the Toffees' base with former player Graeme Sharp overseeing a number of training sessions, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Ajax was also selected as a host for the 34 youngsters.
