Jose Fonte, who recently signed a deal with Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang, would have been expecting loud cheers from frenzied fans when he arrived in China. The reality was strikingly different.
Waiting to welcome the ex-Hammer was just the one sole fan who was awaiting an autograph. The defender willingly obliged.
Unlike when Carlos Tevez and Oscar made the move to China, Fonte's transfer hasn't made waves in the Far East.
The Portuguese will now be hoping to resuscitate his career that all but petered out at West Ham.
