Chelsea to welcome midfielder to Stamford Bridge after Brazilian confirms deal is agreed!

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, according to reports in Brazil.

The 18-year-old made his first-team debut for Corinthians in June and is widely regarded as one of the brightest midfield talents in the country.

But according to former Corinthians midfielder Neto, who now hosts Brazilian TV show ‘Os Donos da Bola’, claims CHELSEA have won the race to sign Moscardo.

Speaking on Monday’s show, Neto said: ‘The Moscardo boy was sold to Chelsea. That’s the information I have. That’s why he didn’t play.’

It was also claimed that Chelsea will pay Corinthians £21 million for the midfielder.

Speaking earlier this month, Moscardo confirmed that Chelsea had made an approach in the summer.

‘There was a proposal from Chelsea months ago, but I talk a lot with my agent and my parents and they try to give me as little information as possible,’ Moscardo said.

‘They say there is not long until the end of the season, they tell me to dedicate myself and do well, and that at the end of the season, there will be good things.’

look even though the Brazilian sensation is very talented, even though the Brazilians are keen to sell the lad to Chelsea, it is not the right time to come to Europe and he needs to stay put.

He is not needed at CHELSEA; he is not a player that Mauricio Pochettino wants and is not a player that fans will get excited about. So the Blues should save their money, wait until January and then sign some readymade players that will make an immediate impact.

That is what we believe anyways.
