Alex is eyeing a future at Chelsea
|
Chelsea have moved a step closer to the capture of Brazil defender Alex after he was granted a work permit.
Alex has been at PSV Eindhoven for the past two seasons after he was deemed ineligible for a permit, but should now complete a permanent move to the Blues.
A statement on the Chelsea website said: "At a hearing today, Alex was granted a work permit.
"He still has to agree personal terms with Chelsea Football Club and have a medical."
Alex arrived at Heathrow on Sunday only to then return to Brazil, despite being granted permission to enter the country by immigration staff.
