Villarreal striker Cedric Bakambu heading to China in €40million deal
Villlarreal are set to land another transfer windfall with their star striker Cedric Bakambu heading to Asia after Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan met his €40million release clause. 'Bakambu's transfer is being finalised and it could be completed in a matter of hours' said coach Javi Calleja on the eve of their Copa del Rey clash with Levante.
It comes a year after the Yellow Submarine sold striker Alexandre Pato to another Chinese club for an astronomical fee. However Bakambu's absence will be a bigger blow with the DR Congo international having already netted nine times in La Liga this term.
