Ramires leaves Chelsea for China; Pato arrives in London

London: Brazil midfielder Ramires has left Chelsea as compatriot Alexandre Pato arrived in London to join up with the Premier League champions.

After more than five years at Chelsea, Ramires has signed for Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning.

But Chelsea is set to add striker Pato to its squad until the end of the season. Pato flew into London from Brazil to complete an expected loan move from Corinthians.

The former AC Milan player recently refused an offer from a Chinese club that wanted to pay him more than $1 million a month. He said he wanted to go back to Europe.

Chelsea is struggling in 13th place in the Premier League and is heavily reliant on forward Diego Costa.
