West Ham United striker Nikica Jelavic is set to join Chinese second division outfit Beijing Ren He for a fee believed to be in the region of £9 million.

Sky Sports claim the 30-year-old, who only joined the Hammers from Hull City in August, will be allowed to leave Upton Park after just one Premier League start.

The former Everton and Rangers forward has scored once in 13 league outings but has been used almost exclusively from the bench.

Jelavic is behind Enner Valencia, Diafra Sakho, Andy Carroll and new signing Emmanuel Emenike in the pecking order and has played just 338 minutes of Premier League football this season.
