West Ham have cut their losses on defender Jose Fonte by selling him to Chinese club Dalian Yifeng.
The 34-year-old Portuguese defender has not played for the Hammers since October due to an ankle injury which required surgery.
A reported fee of £5million gave West Ham the chance to recoup a chunk of the £8million they paid to Southampton for Fonte in January 2017.
'Jose wanted to take it, he's 34 years old and he felt that it was the right thing for his career at this time,' said manager David Moyes.
