The long-expected deal was finally announced on Evergrande's official website with the Chinese Super League (CSL) club posting a graphic welcoming the 32-year-old to Guangzhou.

Gilardino will link up with former Bologna and Italy team-mate Alessandro Diamanti at Evergrande, as well as his former national team boss Marcello Lippi, who is coach of the reigning CSL and AFC Champions League champions.
