Real Madrid fullback set for Chelsea?

Chelsea Football Club are believed to be interested in Cicinho.

Manager Jose Mourinho is keen to solve his long-standing right fullback problem, with the Portuguese coach remaining unconvinced by compatriot Paulo Ferreira.

Glen Johnson has returned to the Stamford Bridge squad this season following a lengthy loan spell at Portsmouth, and although the Blues will give him a chance, Cicinho has emerged as a genuine target.

The Brazilian international has endured an injury-ridden time at the Bernabeu since his move from Sao Paulo in 2005, and may relish the chance to prove himself in The Premiership.
