It's a clearance sale at Chelsea, but The Blues continue to strengthen their squad. Brazilian forward Angelo Gabriel is joining from Santos with immediate effect.
Despite his young age, Angelo has already played 129 matches for the senior team of Santos. Three years ago, at the age of 15 years and 308 days, he became the youngest debutant in the history of Brazilian football.
This milestone occurred at the renowned Maracanã stadium. Angelo is a left-footed winger who prefers to operate from the right side.
Reportedly, Chelsea is transferring fifteen million euros to Santos for his services. Angelo is seen as a potential future world-class player at Stamford Bridge. He will face strong competition for playing time. In the winter, Chelsea made significant investments in wingers, signing Mykhaylo Mudryk for 70 million euros and Noni Madueke for 40 million euros.
With the arrival of yet another right winger, Hakim Ziyech's role seems to be diminishing. The former player of sc Heerenveen, FC Twente, and Ajax has long been rumored to be on the verge of being sold. In the past six months, potential transfers to Paris Saint-Germain and Al Nassr fell through at the very last moment.
