Demba Ba is taking his talents to China following a season in Turkey.
The former Chelsea and Newcastle United player has agreed to a deal with Shanghai Shenhua for a transfer fee believed to be worth €13.5 million, according to ESPNFC.
Ba, 30, moves to the Chinese Super League following one season with Besiktas, where he managed to score 27 goals in 44 appearances.
He'd been previously linked with a return to England, with West Bromwich Albion emerging as a suitor, but ultimately chose to sign with Shanghai. Former Everton player Tim Cahill also signed there in February.
