Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Brazilian wonderkid Deivid Washington for a fee believed to be around £17m.
The 18-year-old forward has signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge with the option for a further year.
Washington could be loaned out however, with the club to decide over a potential switch to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg for the 2023-24 campaign.
He made his senior debut for Santos in April, coming on as a late substitute in the Copa do Brasil, before netting his first goal a month later in a 3-0 Serie A win over Bahia.
Chelsea are also looking to wrap up the £14m signing of New England Revolution keeper Djordje Petrovic who is due to have a medical with the Blues.
