Chinese club Guangzhou R&F are reportedly interested in signing John Carew and Carlton Cole from West Ham.
The club recently won promotion to the Chinese Super League with the help of ex-Hammers striker Marlon Harewood.
Guangzhou have now sent an agent to London to offer lucrative tax-free salaries to Carew and Cole, according to The Mirror.
West Ham are currently second in the Championship with 40 points from 19 games.
