Eriksson: Money too good to refuse in China

The former England and current Shanghai SIPG coach is not surprised by the likes of Jackson Martinez, Ramires and Alex Teixeira moving to the Far East.

Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson believes the cash on offer in Chinese football is too good to turn down for some of the game's biggest names.

High-profile players such as Ramires, Jackson Martinez and Alex Teixeira - who had been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool - have all made the move to China and Eriksson, who coaches Shanghai SIPG, believes there is more to come because of the wages on offer.
