Deivid Washington signed as new Chelsea player

Washington, the next big star at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazilian club has accepted a £17m bid from the Blues earlier this week.

The 18-year-old will become Chelsea’s second signing from Santos this summer following the purchase of winger Angelo.

He is due in London to undergo a medical at the club before signing a five-year deal.

Chelsea plan on loaning the teenage duo to Strasbourg, the French club recently purchased by BlueCo to become a sister club to the Premier League side.

The Blues want to send at least one other player to the Ligue 1 side for experience in 2023-24, most likely Lesely Ugochukwu. 

Deivid and Caicedo are set to become Chelsea’s seventh and eighth paid signings this transfer window. Earlier, the Blues invested €15m in Angelo, another Santos gem, who has since been loaned to Ligue 1’s Strasbourg.

Aligning with Chelsea’s strategy of securing young talents, Deivid is set to commit to the club until 2029.

An additional one-year option could see him there until 2030. Despite his tender age, Deivid has already made a mark, scoring in his first two league starts for Santos.
