Ramires joins Chinese club

Brazilian midfielder Ramires has joined Chinese club Jiangsu Suning from English Premier League champions, Chelsea, becoming the latest high-profile player to make the switch to the cash-rich Super League.

Chelsea did not disclose the fee for the 28-year-old in an announcement on the club website on Wednesday.

The BBC reported, however, that the Chinese side had agreed to pay about £25 million for the midfielder, who made just seven Premier League starts this season.

Ramires joined Chelsea in 2010 from Benfica and scored 34 goals in 251 appearances for the Blues, including his memorable chipped finish over Victor Valdes in the Champions League semifinal against Barcelona in 2012, supersport.com reported.

Jiangsu is managed by former Chelsea defender, Dan Petrescu and Ramires is the latest established European player to move to China.

AS Roma striker, Gervinho, completed a move to Hebei China Fortune FC on Tuesday.
