Spanish term or phrase: ávido de nuevos jugadores
El mercado chino es un mercado nuevo, pujante, ávido de nuevos jugadores para componer sus ligas o mejorar las existentes.

in constant quest of new players


Explanation:
I don't think it means they desperately need new players, just that there's room for lots more. You could also say "with plenty of capacity for".

neutral  Oliver Toogood: //I'm not wrong, you are -"in search of" or " in a quest for".Not your version,although I wont post a disagree as that would bring out the sympathy vote."with plenty of capacity for" would be fine.
