Wanted: Wanderson has attracted plenty of attention[LNB]Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a move for Brazilian midfielder Wanderson do Carmo. [LNB]The Blues sent scouts to watch him playing for his Swedish club GAIS against Brommapojkarna on Monday night, according to reports in Scandinavia. [LNB]The financially struggling club are ready to cash in on their free-scoring midfielder, who has struck 17 goals in 29 games for the Gothenburg outfit. [LNB]GAIS chairman Christer Wallin confirmed several clubs had been watching the 23-year-old, including two from Holland, but refused to confirm if Chelsea were among the admirers. [LNB]'I've heard (about Chelsea), but didn't receive confirmation,' Wallin told the Fotbolls Expressen newspaper. 'There should also have been two Dutch clubs there. [LNB]'For a large part of the season, often there have been four or five clubs were watching. [LNB]'It's been a tough year financially, we need to sell a player.' [LNB]It was GAIS's final home game of the season, which they lost 1-0, and had been billed as Wanderson's farewell match. [LNB]  But he said: 'It is impossible to say. I have a contract with GAIS, but I know there is interest from some clubs in other countries. We must wait until there is a bid.' [LNB]Wanderson has spent three seasons in Sweden since joining from Brazilian minnows River Atletico Clube in 2007. [LNB]He is under contract until 2011 and has also been linked with Ajax, Heerenveen and Verona.  [LNB] Class act Carlo will land Chelsea the title!
