30-year-old Brazilian striker Alan Douglas, who scored 13 goals for Guangzhou Evergrande last season, joined Tianjin Tianhai in February 2019.

The most eye-catching move of the Chinese transfer window belonged to the Belgian internationals. Shandong Luneng, who finished third last season, snapped up Marouane Fellaini from Manchester United.

The towering 31-year-old is expected to help his new team Luneng go further in both CSL and the AFC Champions League.

Li Xiaopeng, Shandong head coach, said that Fellaini will play an important role in the new season.

"When Fellaini does more training with the whole team, I am sure there will be chemistry," Li said.

The Belgian international made 177 appearances and scored 22 goals at United.

Fellaini's fellow Belgian midfielder Mousa Dembele signed for Guangzhou R&F from another English Premier league team Tottenham Hotspur.

Another high-profile arrival was the Slovak international Marek Hamsik, who went to Dalian Yifang after outstripping the great Diego Maradona as Napoli's record goal-scorer. The former Napoli captain hit 121 goals in 520 appearances.

Beijing Guo'an, who finished fourth last season, made big movements in the winter transfer window, as they signed six players including bringing in two naturalized players, the first ones in Chinese football history.

South Korean defender Kim Min-Jae was the only new foreign face at the CSL powerhouse, a move to shore up their leaky defence.
