Former Southampton striker Graziano Pelle has signed a life-changing contract with Chinese Super League team Shandong Luneng.

The 31 year-old centre-forward has resisted interest from Chelsea, Everton and Juventus to move to the Far East.

Southampton announced his sale yesterday.

Pelle has signed a two-and-a-half year contract with Shandong Luneng, worth a mega €25 million, reports Sky Italia.

CSL rivals Shanghai SIPG tempted Hulk from Zenit St Petersburg with a contract worth €20 million-a-year.
