Chelsea target Lavezzi agrees £23M Hebei Fortune move

PSG striker Ezequiel Lavezzi has agreed a move to China.

The Daily Mail says Lavezzi has agreed a two year salary with Chinese Super League side Hebei Fortune worth £23.5million after tax.

The 30-year-old Paris St Germain forward was due to be out of contract at the end of the season and his agents had held talks with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Juventus while Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua thought they had agreed a deal to sign the Argentine on Tuesday.

Lavezzi will earn £10.2million in his first season with Hebei, who also signed Gervinho from Roma, and his salary will be increased for the second year.
