Alexandre Pato reveals joy as Chelsea loan deal draws near

Alexandre Pato says he is “so happy” to be joining Chelsea after the Brazilian forward arrived in London ahead of his loan move to the Premier League club.

While Chelsea are yet to comment on Pato’s proposed switch from Corinthians to Stamford Bridge, the former AC Milan forward described Chelsea “as my new home”.

Pato’s arrival in the capital coincided with Chelsea announcing that midfielder Ramires had ended his five-and-a-half-year stint with the club after joining Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning.
