Gervinho set for China

By Football Italia staff

Roma winger Gervinho missed training today, as he’s set to seal a €15m move to Hebei China Fortune.

It was confirmed yesterday that the Ivorian had asked for a transfer, with a move to China on the cards.

It was first thought that Jiangsu Suning were in pole position for his signature, but Sky is now reporting that Hebei China Fortune will take the former Arsenal man.

The news outlet reports that the Giallorossi will receive €15m for Gervinho, having signed him for €8m in 2013.

The club’s official television channel has confirmed that Gervinho did not train today, as he’s engaged in transfer talks, while Gianluca Di Marzio’s site expects the transfer to be completed today.

Stephan El Shaarawy is expected to be his replacement, with Milan confirming earlier today that a transfer is close.
