Chelsea eyeing Pato

Chelsea eyeing Pato

27 October 2011 - 22:51

Chelsea are preparing a mega bid for AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato, and will look to wrap up a deal in January.

  • Mauricio Pochettino confirms fresh injury blow for Chelsea star
  • Arsenal want to make four marquee signings this summer

  • Pato has been linked to Chelsea on multiple occasions, especially when Carlo Ancelloti was Chelsea's manager.



    Despite having a very good scoring record, Pato has struggled to find his form lately, with Antonio Cassano and Zlatan Ibrahimovic taking his place in the side.



    Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas rates the player highly and it is said that he will convince owner Roman Abramovich to make a mammoth £40 million bid to prise him away from the San Siro.



    If Milan do decide to sell, they are most likely to have a bidding war on their hands with the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona etc. looking to hijack any potential deal.
