Alexandre ​Pato is set to arrive in London to finalise a move to Chelsea on Wednesday morning according to ​The Mirror, which claims that the Brazilian's agent revealed the details of the move on Brazilian TV channel SporTV .





Agent Gilmar Veloz said that the club have agreed a six-month loan move with the Brazilian ex-AC Milan star which will see the Blues pay his £30,000-a-week wages in full.





It thought that the Blues ducked out of a £8-12m permanent due to concerns over his fitness - not wishing to be stuck with a second injured South American striker sitting in the squad alongside Falcao.





It's believed that the Blues still need to secure a work permit for the Corinthians forward. The Brazilian side are said to be keen to offload him after he flopped for them after moving back from Italy, but had reportedly been holding out for assurances that they'll make at least some of their money back after spending £12m on him in January 2013.

Meanwhile, Loic Remy is thought to be closing in on a move to Newcastle, having found playing time severely limited at Stamford Bridge during the current season - starting just one Premier League match.





The final straw may have come earlier in the season when Jose Mourinho opted to play with a monumentally out of form Eden Hazard as a makeshift striker rather than trust Remy in Diego Costa's absence, showing the Frenchman that there is little for him at the club.





​ESPN report that Newcastle are favourites to sign Remy after Crystal Palace cooled their interest, but that any deal for the 29-year-old will have to wait to be confirmed until Pato's move to Stamford Bridge is completed.
