Chelsea midfielder Ramires is close to joining Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning for £25m, according to Sky Sports.

The 28-year-old has started 15 first-team games for Chelsea this season, scoring three goals, but he has found first-team opportunities under interim manager Guus Hiddink hard to come by.

If he does make the switch to Jiangsu Suning, Ramires will be managed by another former Blues player in Dan Petrescu.
