Brazil striker Pato arrives for Chelsea medical
London, United Kingdom (AFP) — Former AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato arrived for a medical at Chelsea yesterday with the Brazilian international expected to sign a loan deal until the end of the season.

He also won a silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
With Chelsea looking to sharpen their attacking back-up to Diego Costa, the 26-year-old Corinthians player was in a confident mood.
“I am so happy — Chelsea is my new home,” Pato stold Sky Sports News.
Chelsea, who have not commented on a move for Pato, announced yesterday that midfielder Ramires had ended his five-and-a-half-year stint with the club and joined Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning.
