BRAZILIAN star Robinho is the latest name to be linked with a move to Chelsea.
The Blues, who have tied defender Wayne Bridge to a new contract, are reported to have offered Real Madrid £47.8million for the forward, something they have denied. Robinho is dismayed by plans to include him in a deal to take Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu, and his agent Wagner Ribeiro admits the 24-year-old is becoming restless. "What's making Robinho seriously consider accepting Chelsea's offer is that (Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe] Scolari helped him a lot when he wasn't very well known in Europe," Ribeiro said.

"Scolari called him up to play a game in Basel, between the Friends of Ronaldo and Friends of Zidane in 2003. Scolari spoke to Robinho and gave him strength.

Robinho feels undervalued for having become a part of some trade deal."
