New signing Alexandre Pato hails "special" Chelsea supporters

New Chelsea signing Alexandre Pato describes the club's supporters as "special" after receiving a warm welcome from the fans on social media.

Alexandre Pato has described the reaction to his arrival at Chelsea as "special".

On Friday, the Brazilian striker finalised a move to Stamford Bridge, where he will remain on loan from Corinthians for the rest of the season.

The 26-year-old had been linked to Liverpool and Arsenal, but he opted for Chelsea and has already received a warm welcome from the supporters.

"When I go to my social media I saw the fans for Chelsea - 'welcome [to] Chelsea,' 'come to Chelsea.' This for me is special," Pato told ChelseaTV.

"I am here just to make my dream, just to play. [To] put the shirt [on] of Chelsea is the best."

Pato could make his debut in tomorrow night's match against Watford at Vicarage Road.
