Chelsea Transfer News: Ezequiel Lavezzi Blow, Fresh Massimiliano Allegri Rumours

Chelsea will reportedly miss out on Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, with the Argentina international said to be close to signing for Chinese Super League side Guoan Beijing.

Peter O’Rourke of ESPN FC claims there are a number of clubs across Europe, including the Blues, that are intent on landing the PSG man in the summer, with his contract due to expire at the end of the campaign. However, it seems as though the lucrative appeal of a challenge in a different continent appeals most to Lavezzi.

Lavezzi could reportedly be the latest big name to join the Chinese Super League.
