"I'm so happy. I stay here for my dream. Chelsea is my new home. Thanks to Chelsea for support. Thanks to my fans for support on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook," he told Sky Sports cameras this week. "I need to play. I don't know what to say because I'm so happy. I'm very anxious [to play] and I want to know my new friends and players in the team. I really want to play in Chelsea."

According to The Guardian, the 26-year-old, who has not been seen on the pitch, is set to undergo a medical evaluation this week.

Pato joining the team could affect other players like Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao, since they all share the striker position. We do know that whichever player stays will remain the substitute for star player Diego Costa.
