Zheng, who plays for Chinese premier league side Shenzhen, has been widely tipped as the next Chinese footballer to play in Europe following Sun Jihai at Manchester City, Li Tie at Everton and Dong Fangzhuo with Manchester United.

The Scottish champions are confident that Zheng can help them cash in on China's soccer market.

Zheng, who is also being chased by Italian Serie A giants Roma and Juventus, will play in China's inaugural premier league this year and will be free to leave for Europe next season.
