"AaB have sold Bassogog to Chinese club Henan Jianye FC for a record transfer for AaB," the club said in a statement.

According to the forward, he chose to join the Henan Jianye because they gave him an offer he could not refuse.

"Since the first day I got here, I received great treatment from everyone both inside and outside the club, and I really felt welcome both in the city of Aalborg and at the club," Bassogog told AeB official website.

"Now I've got an offer I could not refuse, and I look forward to new and exciting experiences in China. I want to thank my team-mates, coaches and the nice people in administration during our time together.

"I must say a big special thanks to the supporters and not least my foster family - they all played a big role in the man I am today."

According to several reports, the 21-year-old was signed for $8.7m.

Bassogog started his career with Douala outfit Rainbow FC in Cameroon before he joined United Soccer League side Wilmington Hammerheads in April 2015.

Wilmington will get a part of the $8.7m Henan Jianye paid for the player in accordance with the deal they signed with AaB of Denmark.
