Chelsea clear to sign PEDRO?

Chelsea are understood to be confident of beating Manchester United to the services of Barcelona attacker Pedro, according to reports.

The Spain international has expressed his desire to make his way to the Premier League with the Red Devils.

However, The Mail cites that Blues owner Roman Abramovich may make a late bid to lure the talented forward to Stamford Bridge this summer.

It is added that manager Jose Mourinho has been given the go-ahead to bring in at least three recruits before the transfer deadline, following the club's 3-0 hammering at the hands of Manchester City over the weekend.
