Chelsea on verge of third summer transfer as wonderkid likened to Neymar ‘completes medical in Brazil’
CHELSEA are on the brink of adding yet another new face to their growing squad as they close in on youngster Angelo Gabriel.
The Blues have been big spenders since Todd Boehly took over last year and it doesn’t look like they’re stopping any time soon.
Angelo Gabriel looks set to be Chelsea’s third signing of the summer
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are set to sign Brazilian starboy Angelo from Santos.
The 18-year-old, who has been likened to Neymar in the past, is said to have completed the first part of his medical to join the Premier League club.
The transfer fee is reported to be around £15million with the tricky winger penning a contract until 2029 with an option of an extra year.
Angelo has already featured 129 times for Santos at his young age, scoring five goals for the Brazilian outfit.
He is expected to go out on loan this summer after joining up with his teammates at Chelsea.
Angelo will become the West London club’s third signing of the summer after they already announced the arrivals of Christopher Nkunku and Kendry Paez.
Nkunku completed his £52million move from RB Leipzig whilst 16-year-old Paez has joined for £17million from Ecuadorian outfit Independiente del Valle.
The summer transfer window has also seen a lot of outgoings from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea try and clear out their inflated squad.
