According to BBC Sport, Chelsea target Ezequiel Lavezzi has completed a transfer to Hebei China Fortune; whilst The Metro report that Liverpool are targeting Real Betis goalkeeper Antonio Adan. 

The Argentina international, who featured for his country at the 2014 World Cup, found himself a peripheral figure in Laurent Blanc’s plans during his final season at Parc de Princes, registering just three starts in Ligue 1.

Agent Alejandro Mazzoni revealed in January that he was in talks with Chelsea regarding a potential Bosman move. But according to BBC Sport, the 30-year-old has snubbed interest from west London in favour of a switch to the Chinese Super League. The winger-forward’s two-year contract with Hebei China Fortune is worth £23.5million.
