Chelsea close in on Brazilian wonderkid Nathan

Chelsea have agreed a fee of £4.5m with Atletico Paranaense for youngster Nathan, Football Express News understands.

Nathan, who plays as an attacking midfielder has been impressing a number of top European sides of late after some highly entertaining performances for the Brazil U17 side.

The youngster has continued that form into the domestic season but recent contract issues, sparked by interest from the likes of Chelsea have halted such improvement.

However, it is understood that the Stamford Bridge outfit have now agreed a fee to make a summer move.

The 19-year-old is desperate to link up with fellow Brazilian’s Filipe Luis, Willian, Oscar and Brazilian born Diego Costa at Chelsea next season.

Further reports claim the youngster could follow suit to that of Lucas Piazon and be loaned out during his first year in England.
