In the bustling world of football transfers, Chelsea Football Club are making waves once again. An agreement has reportedly been reached between Chelsea and Santos for the 18-year-old Brazilian striker Deivid Washington, at a staggering fee of €20 million.

Renowned transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has spilled the beans on this exciting development. According to Romano, Chelsea had their sights set on Washington for quite some time, and they have finally sealed the deal. The saga, however, had its share of twists and turns, as interest from AS Monaco momentarily put the brakes on Chelsea’s pursuit.

As summer unfolds, Chelsea’s roster are witnessing an influx of young blood, especially from the lower age brackets. But hold on a second, some fans are scratching their heads over the club’s tactics. The pursuit of players like Moises Caicedo and a new striker has been well-documented, yet their arrivals seem to be hanging in the balance. Instead, the club appears to be enlisting players who might not make the cut for the first team.

Here’s the plot twist: Chelsea’s grand plan involves sending these budding stars – Angelo Gabriel, Lesley Ugochukwu, and now the hot prospect Deivid Washington – on loan to Strasbourg. So, as Chelsea edges closer to securing the signature of the Santos gem, they could end up shelling out a hefty €45 million on talents that might soon find themselves in the French league.
