Liverpool of course refused to meet Shakhtar’s £38m valuation, despite the player actively seeking a move, and eventually Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Sunig stumped up the cash and bought him from under our noses.

The 26-year-old had been on fire in the Ukrainian league during the first half of the season, and carried on where he left off for his new club yesterday.

Teixeira ran from the left wing before placing a shot into the bottom corner, helping his side beat Jeonbuk 3-2.
