Lavezzi completes move to China

Ezequiel Lavezzi has become the latest big-name player to join the Chinese Super League, leaving Paris Saint-Germain to sign for Hebei China Fortune.

The Argentine forward leaves PSG for a reported €4m (£3.1m) and joins the likes of Jackson Martinez, Ramires and Gervinho - also at Hebei - in moving to the Far East this winter.

Hebei confirmed the deal on social media, saying: "[Lavezzi's] arrival will make the team more offensively sharp. Look forward to his heroics, he's unstoppable!"

Lavezzi, 30, leaves PSG after three-and-a-half years in the French capital. He made just three starts in Ligue 1 under Laurent Blanc this term.

More arrivals to the Chinese Super League could happen before the end of the month, with the transfer window open in China until February 26.
