Footballers choosing to go and play in China are "mercenaries", says Premier League winner Chris Sutton.

Oscar and John Mikel Obi have both left Chelsea in January to join clubs in the Chinese Super League, while Carlos Tevez completed a move reportedly worth 拢40m - including a salary in excess of 拢310,000 a week.

"If players want to go and play in China, simply, they are mercenaries," Sutton said.

"Maybe at the end of your career 鈥� but I do not get this argument that if you're on 拢150,000 a week on a five-year deal you need to go and earn 拢30m a year elsewhere. I'm not having it."
