Alexandre Pato has joined Chelsea FC on a season-long loan.

Pato will join Guus Hiddink‘s squad until the end of the season with the option for a potential £7million switch if his return to Europe is successful.
The former AC Milan striker landed at Heathrow at lunchtime today, January 27, 2016 after an 11-and-a-half-hour journey from Sao Paulo and said it was a ‘dream’ move.

Pato sported tweed flat cap and a blue cardigan over a white t-shirt as he walked through arrivals at Heathrow Terminal 3.
He will provide competition for first-choice striker Diego Costa while also offering options in a wide role similar to the one he flourished in with Sao Paulo.
The addition of the 26-year-old gives Chelsea a fourth senior striker in their first-team squad, although either Loic Remy or Radamel Falcao could be on their way out later this month.
