Beijing lifeline for struggling Zhang

Before Wu Lei's transfer to Espanyol last month, Zhang Yuning was China's lone representative in Europe's elite divisions.

Now, after years of struggle, Zhang is reportedly set to return to China to join Beijing Guo'an.

According to Tencent Sports, Zhang is frustrated at his lack of game time at Dutch side Den Haag, where he is on loan from England's West Bromwich Albion.
