Normally when your flight lands in a new country, the best welcome you can hope for is a sleazy looking guy holding up a sign with your name on it.

Carlos Tevez got slightly more than that when he arrived in China. In fact, he got a lot more than that. but its what they call a hero’s welcome. Tevez, 32, has joined Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League in a deal worth a reported £615,000 a week.
And if every one of these fans buys a shirt with his name on the back, it might just prove good value. Before Tevez starts feeling too pleased with himself, we should point out it was a similar story when Demba Ba arrived a couple of years ago
