Chelsea Close To Signing Of POWERFUL Striker – Not Griezmann

According to a report by Metro, Chelsea are close to completing the signing of another Brazilian youngster. Only few days ago another Brazilian Nathan announced on the social media that he has signed for Chelsea and if metro are to be believed, another Brazilian is set to sign up with the blues – this time Fluminense’s Kenedy is reported close to a Chelsea deal.

Although there has been reports that Chelsea will be paying £9.5 million for Kenedy, Metro claims the amount that Chelsea will be paying for the striker is close to to the £4.5 million that was paid to sign Nathan from Atletico Paranense.

The player who has also been tracked by Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and PSG forced his way into Fluminense’s first team at the tender age of 19 years. The player has always made it clear he wants to play in Europe.

‘Of course, I am happy to play for Fluminense but it is my ambition to one day play in Europe,’ he said.

‘I like Chelsea because of players like Oscar and Ramires.’

It is believed that should the striker join Chelsea, he will be sent on loan but it remains to be seen if Chelsea will send him on loan to a club in England or outside England.
