Graziano Pelle 'heading for Chinese Super League'

A report claims that Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng are closing in on the £13m signing of Southampton's Graziano Pelle.

Southampton striker Graziano Pelle is reportedly close to signing for Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng.

The Italian international only has one year left on his contract at St Mary's and it is understood that both parties are keen for him to seek pastures new in this summer's transfer window.

Everton and Chelsea both reportedly want to keep the 30-year-old in the Premier League, but according to Sky Sports News, Southampton have agreed a deal with Chinese side Shandong Luneng.

The same report claims that the Saints will earn around £13m from the sale of the Italian forward.

Shandong Luneng are currently managed by former Fulham boss Felix Magath.
