Mousa Dembele is set to join Beijing Guoan from Tottenham in a $14 million transfer move.
Dembele cited the need to play in a league with a lower tempo after suffering a foot injury in November.
Spurs are also rumored to be moving on from Victor Wanyama, Georges-Kévin Nkoudou, Vincent Janssen, Fernando Llorente and Michel Vorm over the winter window.
