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.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are set to sign Brazilian wonderkid 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 fourth signing of the summer after they already announced the arrivals of Christopher Nkunku and Kendry Paez.

Today, the Blues added a third signing with the addition of Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal.

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.

Big names such as N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly have swapped London for Saudi Arabia whilst Kai Havertz has joined rivals Arsenal for £65million.

New boss Mauricio Pochettino looks likely to be without Mason Mount too after the club have agreed a deal with Manchester United to sell the England star for £60million.
