Having failed in their pursuit of Brazil forward Robinho, Chelsea are reportedly working towards tying up a move for his compatriot Kaka in the January transfer window.

The Blues with Brazil’s World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari in charge, have been linked with AC Milan star since earlier this summer. But the Italian giants have maintained that the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year is going nowhere.

However, speculation is rife that the west-Londoners have initiated talks over the 26-year-old star attacking midfielder, after Manchester City snared Robinho from under their nose on the summer transfer deadline day.
