Chelsea eye up £6 million Argentine ace
Chelsea are lining up a £6 million summer bid for Boca Juniors striker Rodrigo Palacio according to today's Daily Mirror.
Palacio is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in Argentina and he has a terrific goals per game ratio (nearly a goal every other game).
The 26-year old has been at Boca for over three years now and has earned six caps for the Argentine national side. Avram Grant is believed to be a keen admirer of the player and is willing to pay the rumoured £6 million.
I have heard many good things about Rodrigo over the past 12 months or so. Although I haven't seen him play live I have seen a few videos of him and he certainly looks a terrific goalscorer and lets hope he can do the same at Chelsea if he does join the Blues.
