Southampton striker Graziano Pelle has joined Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng for £12m. Pelle, 30, joined the Premier League side from Feyenoord in 2014 and scored 30 goals in 81 appearances. He made his Italy debut while playing for Southampton and was part of their Euro 2016 squad, scoring twice. Pelle is the third player to leave the Saints this summer, after midfielder Victor Wanyama joined Tottenham and Liverpool signed forward Sadio Mane. Former AZ Alkmaar and Parma forward Pelle joins ex-Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse at Shandong, who are managed by former Fulham boss Felix Magath. Saints, meanwhile, have signed Bayern Munich midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg for a reported £12.8m.

I'm happy as didn't want him at Everton by a long margin. Just shows you doesn't it, all the bull about playing for a great team with ambitions -it's ALL ABOUT THE FAT PAYCHECK! Any player would sell his soul for the money - including some of ours!

It seems to be everyday players that are getting huge wages over there. It says a lot about any player that leaves the Premier league to go and play in China.
