According to reports from The Daily Mail, Chelsea and Liverpool target Alex Teixeira is set to complete a shock move to the Chinese Super League.
The attacking midfielder has bagged 26 goals in as many appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk this season and was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League during the January transfer window.

The Brazilian has been regularly mentioned as a Chelsea target since October, whilst Liverpool saw a £24million bid rejected by the Ukranian outfit last month.
Reports earlier this week revealed that two Chinese clubs, Jiangsu Suning and Guangzhou Evergrande, were preparing bids for Teixeira – the Chinese transfer window doesn’t close until February 26th – and it appears an offer from the former club has now been accepted by Shakhtar.
Indeed, The Daily Mail clam the in-demand midfielder is set for a £35million move to Jiangsu Suning, the same club that splashed out £25million on Chelsea star Ramires last month, within the next 24 hours.
Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez, former Arsenal star Gervinho and Iner Milan midfielder Fredy Guarin have also joined Chinese Super League clubs within the last few weeks.
