Chelsea double striker swoop: Ex-Man Utd and Arsenal man eyed as Pato jets in for medical
CHELSEA are eyeing a shock move for Robin van Persie - as Alexandre Pato arrives in the UK for his medical.
Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink could sign both Alexandre Pato and Robin van Persie
Pato boarded a midnight flight to London and is expected to complete a six-month loan move to Stamford Bridge today.
If the Brazilian impresses during his loan stint from Corinthians then Chelsea have the option to make his deal permanent for a fee believed to be in the region of £12million and will offer him a three-year contract.
However, his imminent arrival could still have a bearing on Van Persie’s return to the Premier League.
