Benfica ace Ramires eager to see Chelsea move closed

Benfica midfielder Ramires is eager to see a move to Chelsea closed.

Chelsea have offered £20 million for the Brazil international, says the Daily Mail.

Ramires said: "My agent has told me that a number of clubs are interested in signing me. We all know that the World Cup is the perfect stage to prove your worth. It would be a dream for me to play for a big club such as Barcelona, Real Madrid or Chelsea."

A box-to-box midfielder with pace, Ramires is strong in the tackle and creates chances, as he did by dribbling through Chile's defence to set up Robinho in Brazil's 3-0 World Cup win. Such displays will soon have the Blues cheering their very own marathon man.
