Despite the newly introduced rule that only three foreign players can be fielded in a Chinese Super League match, there are still many once well known players who have already made the trip.
You can be sure that all of them are earning a very handsome wage, but this list is for anyone who has struggled to keep track of the players who have been lured away from European football. And some managers too, the 2017/18 Super League season will also feature some big name gaffers.
We'll keep this updated each time a player confirms their registration with their new team, and of course remove those who no longer fancy the Chinese football adventure.
Not every CSL team is featured as some have been unable to attract a big name star, but here are the ones most footy fans on this side of the world will be familiar with.
