| Samba Boy:Highly Rated Midfielder finally complete Chelsea move |
The Blues have landed the Brazilian midfielder after courting him for several weeks in a deal that is thought to have cost the Premier League champions around £17illion.Ramires, who played for his country at the World Cup earlier this summer, has been a top target of Carlo Ancelotti during the close season and he has finally got his man on the eve of the new domestic season.Ramires, 23, admitted he was delighted to make the move to Stamford Bridge after he completed a medical successfully and was granted a work permit.
"Every player in the world would love to play for Chelsea and it's a great opportunity that was given to me, I will give my best to repay this chance, and I am very happy," he said on the club's website.Manager Carlo Ancelotti added: "He is a fantastic player, a fantastic midfielder, he is very young and will be the future of the Brazilian national team, and I hope he will be the future of Chelsea."
The deal, however, appears to have gone through too late for him to play against West Brom in the first game of the season on Saturday.He will begin training with his team-mates next week.
