ON HIS WAY ... Alcides to replace
Carvalho
CHELSEA are planning for life without ace
Ricardo Carvalho. Blues defender Alcides, who has been on loan at
PSV Eindhoven for the last 18 months, has been earmarked as the
Portugal star's replacement.
The Brazilian will report for pre-season training next
week as he starts his Chelsea career. And he insists his arrival
signals the end of Carvalho's stay at Stamford Bridge.
Alcides said: "PSV wanted me to stay but I have learned
that Chelsea want me back. "It seems Carvalho is leaving and I am
going to replace him."
Former Blues boss Jose Mourinho wants to bring Carvalho
to Inter Milan.
