Chelsea sign striker Pato on loan

Chelsea have signed Brazil striker Alexandre Pato on loan
from Corinthians until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old has made 27 appearances for his national
team, scoring 10 goals, and represented his country at
both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games.
"I am so happy to sign for Chelsea," said Pato. "It is a
dream for me, I'm looking forward to getting to know my
new team-mates and cannot wait to play.
"I thank Chelsea for their support and hope I can repay this
faith."
The Blues, who won the Premier League last season, have
had a disappointing campaign and are 13th in the table,
although they are still in the Champions League.
Interim manager Guus Hiddink does not think the signing of
Pato is a risk.
"It's not a gamble. Coming on loan makes it possible to
view if he can adapt to the league," said Hiddink.
Chelsea are also set to sign New York Red Bulls defender
Matt Miazga, 20.
"We're not rushing, but he will be one of the squad
members for the future," added Hiddink.
