Chelsea admit Alvaro Pereira failure

Chelsea admit Alvaro Pereira failure

09 September 2011 - 04:19

Chelsea have admitted they tried to bring Uruguayan defender Alvaro Pereira to Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window, but failed to agree a fee with Porto for the transfer.

  • Arsenal handed double injury boost before Liverpool clash
  • Porto expect to sign Arsenal star in next 72 hours

  • The Uruguayan had been one of Andre Villas-Boas' most consistent performers whilst in charge at Porto, and the coach hoped to bring Pereira to Chelsea during the summer.



    However, Chelsea were unable to agree a fee for the player, as admitted by Villas-Boas himself: "For Alvaro Pereira, Porto’s asking price was too much."
