Chelsea are primed to snap up Fabio Paim

Chelsea are primed to snap up Fabio Paim in a deal that will run until the end of the season.
Sources in Portugal suggest Sporting no longer view the player as part of their plans and are happy for the move to happen with a permanent deal on offer next year if he impresses.
After attracting the interest of the West Londoners, the youngster looks set to link up with Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge in a bid to bring out the best of him.
Paim came through the same youth system in Lisbon that developed Cristiano Ronaldo but his potential has yet to be fulfilled.
His speed and skills caught the eye with Sporting B and he was tipped for big things a few years ago but has spent much of his time away from the club on loan.
Paim primarily plays on the wing but is also capable of operating in the middle as well. The 20-year-old has reputedly had disciplinary problems that have hindered his progress but the chance to work with Scolari could be the making of him
