Chelsea in advanced talks to sign 'new Neymar' in £15m summer transfer

Chelsea transfer news: Brazilian wonderkid Angelo could the next rising talent to join the Blues project put in place by Todd Boehly at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea are in advanced talks to sign Santos starlet Angelo in what the Blues hope will be another major transfer coup for a wonderkid. Three summer deals have thus far been announced by Chelsea with Christopher Nkunku as the marquee acquisition as he will go directly into Mauricio Pochettino's immediate first team plans.

Angelo could now join his fellow countrymen in west London with Brazilian journalist Vene Casagrande first revealing the news in a transfer that will cost the Blues £15 million. Fabrizio Romano then backed up his initial claim by reporting that the deal is concrete and an official proposal has been sent, but there are still details to finalise.

With the current Brazilian Serie A season ongoing, Angelo has thus far featured in every league outing with two goals coming his way both when deployed as right-winger. At just 18, Angelo could become the eighth teenager to complete a transfer to Chelsea under the Todd Boehly regime with the emphasis now on players for the future.
