| Pato is expected in London this evening |
Talks between Chelsea and Corinthians have been ongoing for weeks but it appears the saga will end this week.
Former manager Jose Mourinho has initially struck a deal for the player with the Brazilian club but new interim boss Guus Hiddink had doubts.
But Pato's agent Gilmar Veloz has told Brazilian TV channel SporTV, the Blues have agreed to a six-month loan deal for the forward and will pay his wages.
He is expected to leave Guarulhos Airport at 11.50pm Brazilian time and arrive in London tomorrow morning.
With personal terms already agreed, Chelsea will announce the deal once the 26-year-old has passed a medical.
The deal for Pato is likely to see Loic Remy leave the club with Newcastle and Crystal Palace both keen on the French striker.
