Italian forward Graziano Pelle joined Shandong Luneng from Southampton for an estimated fee of £12 million in 2016. He earns £290,000 per week at the Chinese club.

However, when you look at what he has produced on the pitch with respect to his mammoth salary, you are bound to be disappointed. The Italian has mustered only 12 goals in 41 appearances over two seasons, which is a far cry from what the club expects of him.

Pelle is under contract with Shandong Luneng until December 2018, but the Chinese outfit was ready to offload him early with West Ham reportedly lining up a late move for him in January. However, a failure to sell him means the club will definitely ship him off in the summer since they look far from extending his contract.
