Cheick Tiote has completed his move from Newcastle to Chinese second tier side Beijing BG.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who has four months left on contract, travelled to China late last week after agreeing terms on the move.
Tiote had offers from Sporting Gijon and Premier League sides during January but has opted on a move to China instead.
The Ivorian joined the Magpies in July 2010 but with his current deal running out this summer, he is now undergoing a medical at the Chinese side.
