With the success of Ai Kesen (aka Elkeson) and Li Ke (aka Nico Yennaris) on Team China, naturalization is likely to become a key word in the nation's ongoing soccer development.
According to sports.163.com, 30-year-old Brazilian forward Alan (Carvalho) is reportedly poised to become China's next naturalized star after giving up his Brazilian nationality and telling his teammates he's "already Chinese."
