Former Italy striker Christian Vieri has announced that he is coming out of retirement to play in China.

The 43-year-old initially hung up his boots in 2009 following a career that saw him score 236 goals in 476 appearances.

Vieri's most notable spell came at Inter Milan, where he scored 103 goals in 143 matches following a world-record £32m move from Lazio in 1999.


Vieri, who scored 23 goals in 49 appearances for Italy, also played for the likes of Juventus, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan during a well-travelled career.
