Beijing Guoan are closing on a £5.5million deal for Brentford midfielder Nico Yennaris.
The 25-year-old, who started out at Arsenal, is likely to link up with Tottenham's Mousa Dembele.
Yennaris will be classed as a homegrown player as he has obtained a Chinese passport owing to his mother being from the East Asian nation.
Meanwhile, Josh Clarke is joining Burton Albion on loan.
The 23-year-old has only played three times for Brentford this season and will boost a Burton side who were thrashed 9-0 by Manchester City on Wednesday night.
Brentford are 18th in the Championship table after 26 rounds of fixtures.
The Bees sit six points clear of the relegation zone and 15 below the final playoff spot.Tottenham
