AC Milan star Pato hints at Chelsea move ambitions
AC Milan star Alexandre Pato has dropped a big hint he'd fancy a move to Chelsea.
Brazil striker Pato, 20, has been a long-term target for Chelsea chief Carlo Ancelotti – who worked with him at the San Siro.
Pato was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last summer and has given a clear hint over a move to England.
He told the Daily Star: “I follow English football a lot and Ancelotti, the coach who brought me to Milan, is in England now at Chelsea. I love London.”
However, Ancelotti will be forced to fight off competition from Spanish giants Real Madrid who are also interested in the Brazilian superstar.

Likely signings of Summer 2010 Chelsea:
Pato, he's just the Kind of player we need, particularly to play up front with Lukaku in the mid to long term future.
GK: Asenjo (late mention good young prospect, Akinfeev's better though)
Akinfeev (not likely now, when Cech goes though)
DEF: Alves, Taylor, Subotic, Vargas (Vargas if A Cole goes, Subotic regardless, Taylor possible, Alves an outside chance.
MID: Ribery (probably not thanks Mrs Franck)
Schwiensteiger (reasonalby plausible)
Silva (better chance than Man U where most think he's going
Mata (difficult to tell, probably depends on what happens to Silva)
Krasic (probably not, more likely Liverpool or Man U, improves our Mata chances)
Hamsik (probably to Inter, seems to like Italy, but we're still in with a reasonable chance)
Pjanic (fallback option for Hamsik)
Moutinho (fallback for Hamsik, much better than a fallback option but is)
Dzagoev (another Hamsik fallback option)
di Maria (a nearly there thing)
Alcantara (hinges on Cesc' future)
Assulin (ditto Alcantara)
Kaka (unhappy at RM, good friend Carlo at Chelsea)
Urreta (bloody talented, would do well with di Maria and Kakuta, buy and loan back)
RVDV (compensation for Ivanovic or A Cole leaving for RM)
Teixeira (i'd say shaping up, could replace Joe Cole long term)
FWD: David Villa (65% likely)
Romelu Lukaku (80% likely)
Sergio Aguero (60%)
Pato (70%)
Gomis, Balotteli, Nilmar (25%)
Christian Eriksen (75%)
Guys,forget it,wait another 4-5 years,then well sell him wen we actually get someone better,like we did with kaka',for now though..HAHAHAHAHA....FORGET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No English club can afford the 80m fee for Pato, except maybe Man City. Real have too many strikers as it is and Raul would probably block the move. He is staying at Milan.
