Brazilian
striker, Alexandre Pato joins Chelsea FC.
Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato arrives in London via Heathrow
Airport from Sao Paulo,
Alexandre Pato has
joined Chelsea FC on a season-long loan.
Pato will join Guus Hiddink‘s squad until the end of the season with
the option for a potential £7million switch if his return to Europe is
successful.
The former AC Milan striker landed at Heathrow at lunchtime
today, January 27, 2016 after an 11-and-a-half-hour journey from Sao Paulo and
said it was a ‘dream’ move
Pato sported tweed flat cap and a blue cardigan over a white
t-shirt as he walked through arrivals at Heathrow Terminal 3.
He will provide
competition for first-choice striker Diego Costa while
also offering options in a wide role similar to the one he flourished in with
Sao Paulo.
The addition of the 26-year-old gives Chelsea a fourth senior
striker in their first-team squad, although either Loic Remy or Radamel Falcao
could be on their way out later this month.
