Carlos Tevez Arrived Chinese Airport Ahead of Shanghai Shenhua move

Carlos Tevez has landed in China to a hero's welcome from his new fans ahead of linking up with his Shanghai Shenhua teammates.

The 32-year-old has signed a deal to make him the highest paid player in the world to move to the Chinese Super League.

Reports suggest Tevez will pocket up to £615,000-per-week on a two-year deal, with Boca banking a £14million fee.

The former Manchester United and Manchester City striker topped a number of huge signings by Chinese sides, who have now had a new rule placed on them to stop "irrational investments".

The league have announced that only three non-Chinese players will be allowed per game from next season.

The move replaces the previous "4+1" rule, which allowed four foreign players and one more Asian player in the matchday squad.
