I like the whole team.I have played for my country at under 17 level and it is also a dream of mine to one day pull on the famous shirt at the top level.”

The Brazil under-20 international will be a great addition to the Chelsea squad in a matter of years to come. He is known for his physique and shot-firing left foot. Chelsea is currently ahead of other suitors for his signature and are planning to make a 4 million-pound deal for the player.
