Chinese clubs to throw cash at Wales ace Robson-Kanu

Chinese Super League outfits Beijing Guoan and Jiangsu Suning have reportedly lodged bids for Hal Robson-Kanu.

It is believed that the Chinese pair are prepared to pay the Wales star a salary of £5million a year to lure him from England to the Far East.

The 27-year-old forward is out of contract after seeing his deal with Reading expire at the end of last season and is already a target for Premier League clubs Hull City, Swansea City and Watford.

However, Beijing and Jiangsu are making a serious play for the man who turned heads with his superb 'Cruyff turn' goal for Wales in their Euro2016 quarter-final triumph over Belgium which led the Dragons to the semi-final of the UEFA tournament in France.

It is also believed that UAE Pro League outfit Al Jazira Club are showing interest in the Arsenal youth academy product.
