The towering Frenchman bagged 25 goals in the Bundesliga last season and will not ply his trade in the Chinese Super League
Anthony Modeste has completed his long-awaited move to Tianjin Quanjian, Cologne have confirmed.
The 29-year-old striker has joined the Chinese Super League side for a reported fee of €35 million.
Cologne released a statement on Wednesday in which they confirmed that "all relevant parties have agreed" to the transfer.
"Cologne thanks Tony for his efforts in the Cologne jersey and wishes him all the best for the future."
Modeste had looked set to finalise a move last month, only for the deal to be called off after the two clubs failed to reach an agreement.
