Chelsea swoop for keeper!
Chelsea's chief goalkeeping target can be revealed as Nacional's Hilario.
Sources in Portugal have confirmed that the 30-year-old, who played under Jose Mourinho at Porto, is the man the Chelsea boss wants to become third-choice at Stamford Bridge.
Earlier reports had indicated that Portugal World Cup squad member Quim was the priority for Mourinho, but it is understood that a Bosman move has been set up for Hilario, as he is out of contract with the Madeiran club.
A two-year deal is awaiting the experienced shot-stopper and he will compete with Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini for the goalkeeping jersey.
Mourinho has already signed Michael Ballack from Bayern Munich and is busy reshaping a squad that can win the Premiership title for the third season in succession.
"I can hardly believe it," Hilario told O Jogo.
"But it's still to be confirmed, otherwise I would be talking about it.
"I don't have the words to explain what a pleasure it would be to work with Mr Mourinho again." ---------------------------------------------------
It seems as if MR. Moaninho is buying for the fun of it this summer.
I wouldn’t mind Carlo Cudicini.

If i were Cudicini i'd get out of there soon as possible, he's missing vital first team football for this stage of his career.. he can be top quality if he gets the chance or gets out.

Chelsea can have another keeper if they want - That should open the door to a move for Cudicini - Once "The Best" gk in the prem.

The guy's 30-years old and is 'third-choice'..why would anyone want to sign for Chelsea knowing they are going to be THIRD-CHOICE, hardly ambitious are they?...Chelsea are seriously taking the piss with Carlo Cudicini though he should move on. If United never had VDS, Howard and Foster I would've liked him here but no thanks.
