Guangzhou Evergrande sign Robinho

 

 Former Manchester City forward Robinho has become the latest high-profile name to make the move to China, signing for Guangzhou Evergrande.

 

The 31-year-old has signed a six-month contract with the Chinese outfit following his release from Santos and will link up with Luiz Felipe Scolari, who had two spells as Brazil manager, as well as international team mate Paulinho.

 

Robinho was part of the Brazil squad that crashed out of the Copa America in the quarterfinals, making two appearances and scoring on one occasion.
