The American Abroad netted 19 times across all competitions last term, and has attracted glances from the likes of Blackburn, Celtic, Everton, Hamburg, Middlesbrough, Monaco and Werder Bremen over the last few months.

According to Kuiper, Bradley's move will come with a domino effect, likely sandwiched between other transfers at the interested clubs.

"Bradley's name comes up on the list of many different clubs," he told the club website. "His departure is a bit dependent on third parties - if other clubs' players leave, the ball starts rolling."

The former MetroStar can also enhance his rep with a strong showing at the Summer Olympics in August, which has signalled Heerenveen to plan as if their #6 shirt will have a new name on it soon.

"If Bradley does well (in China), there will be interest," he added. "At this moment, we assume that he won't play for us this season."
