Super League club Dalian Yifang are ready to test Chelsea’s resolve to keep hold of in-demand winger Willian until the summer.
Maurizio Sarri is refusing to entertain offers for the Brazilian who has also been attracting the interest of Catalan giants Barcelona.
They have offered another Brazilian winger Malcom plus cash in exchange for Willian, 30, who has 18 months left on his Stamford Bridge contract.
But they have turned the offer down flat but that wont put off Dalian Yifang who are also interested in signing former West Ham United star Dimitri Payet.
Dalian Yifang coach the former German international Bernd Schuster rates Willian highly and has him at the top of his wanted list.
He might however have to wait until the summer to get his man when with a year left to run on his contract Chelsea could start to listen to offers
