Phil Jagielka has made 14 Premier League appearances for Everton this season
The Everton captain's contract is due to expire in 2018 and it remains to be seen whether he would be tempted to move next season.
The Chinese transfer window remains open until February 26 and the leading clubs have already spent big money on European-based players. The signing of England defender Jagielka would be seen quite the coup.

Injury has hampered Jagielka's season, while the form of summer signing Ramiro Funes Mori has provided good cover for Roberto Martinez's side.
A the age of 33, Jagielka is approaching the latter stages of his career.
With Euro 2016 likely to be his last involvement with England at a major tournament, a move to China with the finances available there may attract the experienced Premier League veteran.
