Has former Everton target Axel Witsel decided on next club? If so it's not the BluesThe Belgium international appears set for a move from Zenit
Former Everton transfer target Axel Witsel is reportedly set for a move from Zenit when the season ends. But it won't be Goodison or any of Europe's big leagues for the midfielder, according to Belgian radio station RTBF.
The former Standard Liege man was heavily linked with the Blues during the summer, with Farhad Moshiri reportedly keen to make him a marquee signing.
But it appears he will shun Juventus and instead join Brazilians Oscar and Hulk in the Chinese Super League, with Shanghai a possible destination.RTBF claim he has already signed a deal with a Chinese Super League side. In September he bemoaned Zenit's refusal to sell him to Juventus.
“It’s really hard [to take],” he told RTBF.
“I still have to thank Juventus because they did everything for me until the end.
“It’s a shame that Zenit did not accept ?25m when I had a year left on my contract.
“I’m disappointed because I went there and passed medical tests, so I saw myself at Juventus in my head, but it didn’t happen.
