Chelsea prepare sensational swoop for Robin van Persie

The 32-year-old has had a miserable time at Fenerbahce since moving from Old Trafford and the Blues could be set to offer him an escape route.

The Daily Express claim any raid for Van Persie depends on whether the Premier League champions are able to complete their loan deal for Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato.

With Radamel Falcao injured and Loic Remy being chased by the likes of Newcastle and Crystal Palace, Guus Hiddink is looking for a backup striker to support Diego Costa.

Chelsea are considering the former United star because of doubts over the fitness of Corinthians' Pato.

The 26-year-old flew into London tonight ahead of a medical tomorrow afternoon and is expected to sign a six-month loan deal at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea will have the option of making the move permanent at the end of the season for a £12m fee with Pato signing a three-year deal.

He scored 26 goals in 56 matches for Sao Paulo last season as he was loaned out by Corinthians.
