Mousa Dembele is ready to leave Tottenham for a lucrative move to China.
The Sun says Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan hope to land him at the second attempt.
They first tried to sign the Belgian midfielder last February during the Chinese transfer window.
Tottenham refused to let Dembele, 31, leave but his reluctance to agree a new deal may force them to sell in January.
Sources say Beijing Guoan will offer Tottenham between £8million and £10m. Dembele is being lured with a three-year deal worth £192,000 a week.
