Chelsea No2 Ten Cate key to Ronaldinho deal

DiarioSport says former Barcelona coach Ten Cate has contacted Ronaldinho in recent days about moving to London after being given the green light by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to go for the attacking midfielder.

Ten Cate reminded Ronaldinho of how he enjoyed his best form while they were working together at the Nou Camp and that he can recapture his best at Stamford Bridge. Ronaldinho is conscious of Ten Cate's influence during his best years at Barca.

The pair did not discuss financial terms, although Ten Cate assured the player he would better his Barca wages by moving to Chelsea.

Chelsea sources say Ronaldinho is keen on moving to the Premiership, though as yet none of the Brazilian's entourage have confirmed it. For now, Ronaldinho is determined to keep his head down and work at refinding his best form.
