Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Guangzhou Evergrande defender Zhang Linpeng.
Reports suggest that if a deal is made the 26-year old will be loaned out immediately due to work permit regulations, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The right back has even been given the nickname "Zhangmos" in China due to his similarity to Real Madrid's defender Sergio Ramos.
"I've worked hard and waited these five-six years for my dream of playing overseas, and finally have recognition from the English Premier League," Linpeng said. "I'm very happy and very excited to finally have this formal invitation."
The China international is being lined up after Everton rejected Chelsea's £37million bid for John Stones with the Blues now set to look elsewhere.

Manchester United are set to make a final attempt to bring Gareth Bale to Old Trafford.
The Daily Star claim Louis van Gaal's side are willing to pay £65m plus David De Gea to prise the Welshman away from the Bernabeu.
Bale has been subjected to a difficult time at Real after a large proportion of fans criticised his performances last season and United are willing to offer him a way out.
A club source told Starsport: "This would be the perfect deal for the club.
"It would cost them a lot of money but Gareth Bale is one of the world's biggest stars, while goalkeeper De Gea has made it clear he wants to leave.
"It would suit all parties but there is not much time left and deals like these tend to take weeks because of everything involved.
"But United remain determined to bring in a big, big name before the window closes."
Arsenal are targeting Dynamo Kiev forward Andriy Yarmolenko, according to Spanish publication Fichajes.
