A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…
Several of today’s newspapers suggest Alexandre Pato is edging towards a move to Chelsea.
The former AC Milan forward, 26, has been desperate to secure a transfer to England for some time – he was previously offered to QPR – and is again being touted for a move to the Premier League from Corinthians.
The Daily Telegraph reports that he is valued at around £10m and that Chelsea could push for an initial loan deal with a view to a permanent move in the summer if he impresses.
The Daily Star, on the other hand, say Pato would cost £12m and claim Blues boss Guus Hiddink has been told the club must sell Loic Remy before he can bring in another striker.
Meanwhile, The Sun claim Real Madrid will look to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea before a transfer ban is enforced.
The Independent, however, say the ban means that Hazard will be staying at Stamford Bridge.
And the Daily Mirror say Leicester have joined Chelsea and a number of other clubs in an apparent race to sign West Brom striker Saido Berahino.
