What do we need another keeper for we already have the two best Goalkeepers in Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini,I hope this guys arrival does not mean that one of them will be leaving the club..Chelsea's chief goalkeeping target can be revealed as Nacional's Hilario.
Sources in Portugal have confirmed that the 30-year-old, who played under Jose Mourinho at Porto, is the man the Chelsea boss wants to become third-choice at Stamford Bridge.
Earlier reports had indicated that Portugal World Cup squad member Quim was the priority for Mourinho, but it is understood that a Bosman move has been set up for Hilario, as he is out of contract with the Madeiran club.
A two-year deal is awaiting the experienced shot-stopper and he will compete with Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini for the goalkeeping jersey.
Mourinho has already signed Michael Ballack from Bayern Munich and is busy reshaping a squad that can win the Premiership title for the third season in succession.
"I can hardly believe it," Hilario told O Jogo.
"But it's still to be confirmed, otherwise I would be talking about it.
"I don't have the words to explain what a pleasure it would be to work with Mr Mourinho again."

They said Cudicini was leaving a while ago but did a 'U' Turn on the statement so maybe. Damn greedy if you ask me.
