Chelsea completed the loan signing of Alexandre Pato from Brazilian club Corinthians in the hopes of the forward being an adequate reinforcement that could propel them to a good second half of the season.
After winning the league as well as securing the Capital One Cup last season, Chelsea underwent a drastic dip in form this season that also saw José Mourinho get sacked. Guus Hiddink was brought in and the interim manager has done a good job in stabilising things. In fact, the London club is unbeaten under the former Holland boss. However, Hiddink knows that for his side to ensure they finish the season well, certain reinforcements have to be brought in and they’ve done just that, by securing the loan signing of once highly rated forward Alexandre Pato.
