Xinhua, June 29, 2015 Adjust font size:

Brazilian international Jose Paulo Bezerra Maciel Junior (Paulinho) has moved from English Premier League side Hot Spurs to Chinese Super League champion Guangzhou Evergrande on a 4-year deal, according to Evergrande's website here on Monday.

And the midfielder has become the first new player since Luiz Felipe Scolari was appointed as Evergrande's manager and the third Brazilian player signing for the 2013 AFC Champions League winners this season following Ricardo Goulart and Alan Douglas.

Paulinho, the 27-year old marauding midfielder, played for Hot Spurs for two seasons after moving from Brazil's Corinthians on a fee of 20 million euros, collecting 10 goals and 7 assists in 67 appearances.

Hot Spurs will receive 14 million euros from the transfer. Endi
