Chelsea make bid for Pereira
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed the club have bid for Porto full-back Alvaro Pereira, but says he is "not very confident" of signing him.
The 25-year-old left-sided wing-back played under Villas-Boas at Porto and helped Uruguay to win the Copa America title during the summer.
"The only thing I can confirm is we have made a bid and are very far apart in terms of numbers," Villas-Boas said.

Its good to see Chelsea finally trying to get some deals done, he would be another top signing and clearly the manager knows him well from his time at Porto, so he should already know how AVB likes to play. Obviously he's usually a left back, however I cant see him replacing Ashley Cole so I reckon he will be played in a more advanced role maybe closer to left wing position to give them some width and pace on the left side. He's certainly not a weak player either so he should adapt the the Premier League relatively easily. AVB isn't very confident the deal will go through but if he manages to get something sorted he can be very happy with the signing!
