​Pelle ready to leave Southampton for China berth

Graziano Pelle is set to swap Southampton for China in a £13m deal next week, according to Sky Sports.

The Italy striker had an impressive Euro 2016 and it is understood Pelle is set to leave St Mary's for the Far East.

Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng is believed to be the destination, and the £13m deal means Saints will make a £4m profit on the 31 year old they signed from Feyenoord two years ago.
