Romano states that Angelo is set to travel to England this week to complete a move to Stamford Bridge. It’s added that the teenager will be undergoing all the necessary medical tests with them before signing a six-year contract with Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
According to the reports, Chelsea have finalized all documents with Santos to complete this deal as soon as possible and they have agreed to pay a fee of around £12.8 million to the Brazilian club for the young forward. As it stands, it appears that this deal could be finalized by the end of the week.

He is known for his impressive dribbling ability and tendency to pop up with something special in the final third, which has earned him a lot of attention from major clubs. The teenager has been described as a ‘special talent’ and it remains to be seen if he can soar at Stamford Bridge upon completing his move.
