Chief executive Peter Kenyon is confident of wrapping up the deal for Robinho, with Chelsea's official website pre-empting the move by taking orders for kits with the 24-year-old's name printed and the number 'to be confirmed'.

Lampard told Chelsea's official website: "He has great flair, and something that would be nice to bring into our team. We have flair players already, but he is another option and he could light up the league.

"He is a fantastic player, I saw a lot of him last season watching the Spanish games. He had a very good season until he got injured and it broke his season up a bit,

"He will have to get used to it because it is different to Spain, but he showed he is a world-class player both at Madrid and for Brazil, and world-class players adapt."
