Chelsea are reportedly lining up a £30million plus player deal to land Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato from AC Milan.
The Brazilian international is no stranger to rumor linking him to Stamford Bridge and was close to joining the Blues following the arrival of Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti in 2009.But that move didn’t happen.
Now according to The Daily Mirror, new Chelsea manager Villas-Boas has reignited the club's interest in the 21-year-old striker as he looks to inject young blood into his aging squad.
The Portuguese coach has insisted he is happy with the current squad at the Bridge despite having yet to sign a new player this summer.
But Pato could well be a surprise signing before the start of the new season as the Blues look to regain their Barclays Premier League title from Manchester United.
The Blues are reportedly preparing a £20million plus either French man Nicolas Anelka or Ivory Coast striker Salomon Kalou to land the Brazilian hitman.
Pato scored 14 goals in 25 appearances for AC Milan last season despite being sidelined on a number of occasions due to injuries.
