The All Whites striker Chris Killen is reported to have agreed a move to play in China.
Britain's SKYSports says Killen is available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract with English club Middlesbrough.
Killen, who started all 3 of New Zealand's matches at the World Cup, has agreed a two-year deal with Shenzhen Ruby and is the club's marquee signing of the off-season.
Recently fellow All Whites striker Shane Smeltz left another Chinese club Shandong after just 5 days because of personal reasons.
