Chelsea loan Sporting starlet
Portuguese giants Sporting have confirmed Chelsea have completed the loan signing of Fabio Paim.
Setantasports.com brought you news of Chelsea’s interest in Paim on Wednesday, and now the expected season-long agreement has gone through.
The 20-year-old striker is well known to Luiz Felipe Scolari from his time as coach of Portugal, and Chelsea have put in place an option to sign the youngster permanently.
“Fábio Paim has been released for loan until the end of the season to Chelsea Football Club,” read a statement on Sporting’s official website.
“At the end of the season, the English club has right of option for the acquisition of the attacker.”
Paim is similarly versatile to Cristiano Ronaldo, preferring to play his football out wide whilst also posing a danger more centrally.
