CHELSEA are still working through the paperwork an Alexandre Pato's transfer from Corinthians, Guus Hiddink has confirmed.

 

Alexandre Pato is all set to join Chelsea

 

Pato, 26, is expected to secure a loan move to Chelsea before Monday's 11pm transfer deadline.

The Brazil international is in London and has reportedly agreed terms over the six-month loan.

Chelsea had been expected to announce the deal yesterday.

But interim boss Hiddink explained there are still hurdles to overcome before his arrival is complete.

"He is in London, he was well spotted. Nowadays there are no secrets," Hiddink said.

"He is now in the process of the paperwork so we don't rush it and we see how soon it can be solved and he can be on the pitch."
