Tottenham stars Harry Kane and Dele Alli top the shopping list of Chinese Super League clubs.
The Daily Mail says they 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.
As a result, the Chinese are targeting someone younger, with the likes of Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Everton midfielder Ross Barkley and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge among those discussed. Representatives from the CSL have contacted intermediaries with a view to executing their plan.
The Chinese believe luring a major English talent will add credibility to the competition.
