Chelsea boss not confident of landing Porto's Pereira

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas says he is not confident of landing FC Porto's Alvaro Pereira.

The Portuguese tactician today confirmed the Blues had made a bid for the Uruguay international but their offer was way off what Porto want and he cannot see anything further taking place.

"The only thing I can confirm to you is that we have made a bid for him and we are very far apart in terms of numbers," he said.

When asked if he felt a deal could be done, he added: "Not very confident."
