Chelsea are being linked with yet another teenager as they continue to build for the future by grabbing all the top young talents around the world.
They look to be close to pulling off a deal to sign the next biggest thing coming out of Brazil, winger Estevao Willian. And now they are being linked to another 17-year-old rising star.
According to ESPN Brazil, Chelsea are prepared to offer £6.2 million to acquire 17-year-old right-back Pedro Lima from Série B club Sport, with Pedro initially being loaned to Strasbourg in the first season.
Chelsea’s other club Strasbourg have been taking on a number of the young talents that Chelsea have, and they will be taking on more next season no doubt. Winger Angelo and midfielder Andrey Santos are already currently on loan at the French club from Chelsea this season, and it is possible that they stay there and spend next season on loan as well.
It is seen as a tactic for the future so they can have a bunch of the top players in the world, but will not have to splash out millions to acquire them with them already being on Chelsea’s books.
Chelsea have apparently already made a proposal to sign the youngster in a deal that would see him arrive at the club this summer and then join Strasbourg on loan.
Lima has been a regular throughout the Brazil youth national teams and recently played at the U17 World Cup for them.
Let’s see if Chelsea can get this one done.
In other news, Cole Palmer stormed the fans vote for young player of the year, receiving over 50% of votes, Kobbie Mainoo was in second place. The votes from the public will be combined with those of a panel of football experts to decide the winner, who will be revealed on Saturday.
