What's the point of bringing in some Chinese Yoof player that no **** in China has heard of either??

No value in that unless he signs us the 17 year old Chinese Lionel Messi of the future. Who lets face it ain't coming to play in this country if he is that good
Chinese kid costs 58K, you sell 58K shirts.
ADP (type) costs 580K you still only sell 58K shirts.

Chinese player "might" be "bought" back by a Chinese club for 58K and you've profited by selling 58K shirts.

ADP (type) moves to Chinese club on free. You make no profit.

Also Chinese kid attracts Chinese sponsors.


The short answer - it's less risky trying a no name Chinese kid than trying to sign Jamie Vardy.
