Chelsea midfielder set for shock China switch

Ramires heading far east
Chelsea midfielder Ramires could be set for a shock £25million transfer to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning - teaming up with former Blues ace Dan Petrescu.

Ramires only signed a new four-year deal at Stamford Bridge in October, but has fallen down the pecking order under Guus Hiddink and hasn’t started a Premier League game since the Dutchman’s arrival.


Now the Daily Mail report that the 28-year-old - who arrived for £18million from Benfica in 2010 - could now head to the Far East.


Money is being pumped into the Chinese Super League and Jiangsu are hoping to make a title bid this year. They’re already set to sign former Arsenal winger Gervinho from Roma and hope to resurrect a deal for AC Milan striker Luiz Adriano.

Petrescu, hired in July, has already led the side to the 2015 Chinese FA Cup. The club are owned by the Guoxin Group, China’s largest project tendering and procurement company.

Premier League clubs have no defence for ripping off fans...Compare ticket prices in major football leagues in the world. How much does it cost to watch your club?

The sheer scale of the staggering TV deal that will begin next season, will rightly change the face of English football once again.  However, this would also put clubs at odds with their own supporters. For many years now, as the scale and self-love of the Premier League has grown, those who attend games have paid heavily for the privilege.  source: Mail online
