Serbian defender Dusko Tosic has joined Chinese Super League (CSL) team Guangzhou R&F for five million Euros from Turkish side Besiktas. The 33-year-old joins on a two-and-a-half-year deal following reports he was set to join the club's city rivals Evergrande.

Original reports suggested Tosic was set to join the 7-time champions of China, but he has instead opted to join their crosstown rivals, following in the footsteps of compatriot Marko Perovic. In three years with Besiktas, he won the Turkish Super League twice but has failed to make an impact in 25 appearances this season with the club slumping to fourth place with one game left, after winning the title last season. 

Tosic has appeared 22-times for his country and is currently waiting to hear if he has made the Serbia squad for the World Cup.
