Off to China it looks like - Nixon article -
Blackburn Rovers goal machine Yakubu is set for talks with wealthy Chinese club Guangzhou about a bargain deal - and a £5 million-a-year contract.
The Nigerian hit man can leave the relegated club because of a clause in his contract and he is expected in the Far East tomorrow to sort out personal terms.
Yakubu was Blackburn's top scorer in their season of failure and his reputation is good enough for Guangzhou to offer him a stunning deal.
Rovers signed Yakubu from Everton at the start of last season but he demanded an escape clause and now he is getting his way - with the move a blow to West Ham who wanted to sign him too.
