Robinho: Wants Chelsea move

Robinho is still hopeful of securing a move to Chelsea, despite reports suggesting the switch from Real Madrid had collapsed.

Chelsea said on Wednesday that they were hopeful of wrapping up a deal for the Brazilian, but Real are believed to have been angered by The Blues’ decision to start selling shirts with Robinho’s name on the back.

The Blues have a couple of days to persuade Real to do business and Robinho is still hopeful a deal can be brokered.

"I have a contract with Real Madrid, but as everyone knows talks are taking place,” he told Globosporte.

”They are negotiating and I have already expressed what my will is."

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“While all big teams (Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool) were busy protecting their best players, Arsenal was in forefront encouraging injury prone Walcott to participate in that useless freindly. Arsenal has a very thin squad and I remember Walcott said it but Wenger didn't take action to add some players. Arsenal players are not made of steel and Wenger should be prepared for such situation. We need Arsenal supporters on the board of Arsenal who can feel the way we feel when the team is losing and they can force Wenger to buy some experience players. Current board members are only interested in profits yet they (profits) don't go into history of the club”
