Corinthians anchorman on Chelsea radar
Posted Tuesday, October 16, 2012 by Talksport.co.uk
Chelsea could add to their growing Brazilian contingent with a move for Corinthians anchorman Paulinho.
Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo already has Oscar, Ramires, David Luiz and Lucas Piazon in his ranks and he could seek to bring their compatriot to Stamford Bridge.
Paulinho, 24, has earned five caps at senior international level and he is currently jostling with Ramires for a regular berth as Brazil's defensive midfielder.
The tough-tackling midfielder helped his club side Corinthians to Copa Libertadores glory earlier this year and his displays have caught the eye of Di Matteo.
However the Italian manager will have to fight off interest from Inter Milan, who are plotting a January move for the Samba star.
