The Brazilian though has not started in the Premier League since the 2-1 defeat by Leicester City on December 14. He had attracted interest from Bayern Munich, Juventus and PSG but the Chinese have moved swiftly to secure his signature in a lucrative deal.

He had attracted interest from European heavyweights including Bayern Munich and PSG but the Chinese outfit look set to win the race.

Ramires would join a growing list of Brazilians plying their trade in China, including former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho, under ex-Cheslea boss Felipe Scolari. He will also be managed by former Chelsea midfielder Dan Petrescu, who has been in charge of Jiangsu since last July.

The Blues are rebuilding for the future, freeing up cash to spend on new talent after their woeful title defence this season culminated in manager Jose Mourinho being sacked.

Papy Djilobodji has already been allowed to leave Stamford Bridge on loan and Loic Remy could join him, if the club find a replacement.

Alexandre Pato is expected to join from Brazilian side Corinthians in the bid for more firepower as the club, under Guus Hiddink, attempt to salvage what the can from their domestic campaign.

Pato scored 63 goals in 150 games during six years at AC Milan where he lifted the Serie A title in 2011, before returning to Brazil three years ago.
