Mauricio Pochettino identifies seventh summer signing as clear Chelsea transfer plan continues

Chelsea are exploring a move to sign another Brazilian wonderkid after winning the race for Santos ace Angelo Gabriel. The Blues lodged a €15 million (£13m) bid and saw it accepted by the Brazilian outfit despite the £38m release clause in his contract.

Mauricio Pochettino has already overseen the arrival of six new players but only Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson will immediately impact the first-team picture. Deals for Kendry Paez, Dujuan Richards, Alex Matos and Diego Moreira are the remaining purchases with Paez and Richards officially joining the club in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Matos will be an addition to the academy while the immediate plan for Moreira is unknown. Those four incomings can be added to the lengthy list of young talent Chelsea are snapping up and another name looks set to be added to that list.
