Having been promoted to the CSL under former Italian World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro, Tianjin Quanjian's dramatic rise up the football ranks in China has been nothing short of remarkable.

The club currently sit in fourth place, just a point off Hebei China Fortune, with five games to go in the 2017 CSL.

With a contract till Dec 2019, Witsel's addition to the squad has paid dividends, as the club has edged towards an Asian Champions League spot.

However, the player might have plans for himself away from the club as the Belgian could move back to Europe, with a number of teams interested in acquiring his services.
