Chelsea bigwig Peter Kenyon thinks Madrid man Robinho would be the last piece of the Chelsea puzzle and says that the clubs are currently working on a deal...
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has made no secret of the fact that the Stamford Bridge men are in a buying mood this summer. Nor has he made any secret of the Blues' willingness to consider 24-year-old Brazil ace Robinho.
Now, though, Kenyon is determined to turn up the transfer heat on Real Madrid, for a change, and has candidly expressed his desire to strike a deal that would see the attack-minded man swap Blancos for Blues.
Despite Robinho telling Marca this week that he wants "to continue at Real Madrid for a long time," Kenyon is seemingly determined to further unsettle the player, who is already miffed by Los Merengues refusal to let him go to the Olympics.
Kenyon told Chelsea TV: "I think as far as Robinho is concerned it is quite right he has been one of our targets.
"We have had several conversations with Madrid and he is a player we think that would add a great deal to Chelsea.
"We have got a fantastic squad and that has been strengthened with [José] Bosingwa and Deco. I think the [Luiz Felipe Scolari] is just looking for one more to complete what he thinks is the perfect squad.
"There is still a long way to go on that one, but we are very, very interested and the clubs are in dialogue."
