​Chinese clubs make eyes at Wales boss Coleman

Wales manager Chris Coleman is wanted by two Chinese Super League clubs, according to Sky sources.

Coleman signed a two-year contract extension with Wales in May which takes him to the end of the 2018 World Cup.

That has not put off two ambitious Chinese clubs, Yanbian Funde and Tianjin TEDA, who finished ninth and 10th respectively in the 2016 Chinese Super League season which ended last month.

Coleman's stock is high after Wales' performance at Euro 2016, where his side were beaten in the semi-finals by eventual winners Portugal.
