Ki Sung-Yueng is the last Premier League player linked with a move to China.

According to a report in the South Wales Evening Post the former Celtic midfielder is interesting Shanghai and Hebei.

Ki is currently out injured with a broken toe but with Swansea sitting at the bottom of the Premier League Bob Bradley may have to sell in order to bring in reinforcements in January.

Since moving to Wales in 2012 Ki has enjoyed mixed fortunes but did pick up a League Cup winners medal before being sent on loan to Sunderland after falling out with Michael Laurdrup.

A proposed move to Stoke City earlier this year failed to materialise while his international commitments have often had an impact on his club fortunes.

With 88 full caps he is the South Korean player with the highest profile and is recognised throughout Asia.

After joining Celtic in 2009 he had his best season in 2011/12 as the hoops took the title despite the handicap of paying HMRC in full from their players wages.
