Graziano Pelle, as we all know now, is not short of a few quid (or Yuan, to be more precise).
Having led the Italian attack at Euro 2016, the 30-year-old has left Southampton for the mighty Shandong Lueng over in the Chinese Super League – becoming one of the best paid footballers on the planet in the process.
With money to burn, it seems Graziano has thought long and hard about the things he needs to take with him for his big move to the other side of the world. Naturally, it seems that his hair is a big priority.
How do we know this? Well, we’re going off one tweet from none other than David Sullivan Junior, son of the West Ham co-owner who appears to suggest that Pelle is taking their mutual barber along with him.
Is he being serious? Admittedly, we’re not exactly sure with those laughing face emojis tagged on the end of the tweet…

Closer inspection shows that Peppe Pellegrino, owner of the twitter handle in the tweet, does seem to be pretty matey with Pelle, and even poses beside him in his Twitter profile pic.
Whether that means he’s willing to head east with the man is another matter. If this is the case, barbers looking for business might want to contact Dave Sullivan Jnr.
