Ramires desperate to make Chelsea debut

Ramires is desperate to make his debut for Chelsea.

Brazilian midfielder Ramires compared Chelsea's start to the campaign to a high speed train but has revealed that Ancelotti has told him he may get his debut against Stoke on Saturday.

Ramires, who made an £18.2m switch from Benfica to move to London, said: "I cannot wait to play my first game for Chelsea. I've spoken to the manager and that could happen this Saturday.

"My debut will be incredible for me because I've always dreamed of this chance. It will be a great moment for me.

"Chelsea have begun the season like a locomotive engine but the season is long and the matches are not always easy. For me, Chelsea is the favourite for the title and I want to be in the starting XI. That is my target."
