BLACKBURN Rovers striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni is set to join the Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F, a club official confirmed yesterday.
"We are in the final round of talks with him ... the negotiations are almost done," Lu Yi, vice president of Guangzhou R&F club, said.
"The job is 99 percent done. If nothing goes wrong with the final one percent, Yakubu will arrive in Guangzhou this week. We have started doing the registration for him in the Chinese league," he added.
Blackburn Rovers has been relegated after a disappointing Premier League season despite the 17 goals scored by the 29-year-old Nigerian for his team. The club's top scorer ranked a joint fourth in the Premier League scoring table behind Arsenal's Robin van Persie, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Manchester City's Sergie Aguero.
Yakubu had an escape clause when Blackburn Rovers signed him from Everton last season, thus offering a great bargain for Guangzhou.
"The club still has to pay an estimated 6 million euros a year to the Nigerian," a club source said.
Newly promoted Guangzhou R&F is currently third in the CSL table ? five points behind league leader and city rival Guangzhou Evergrande.
