Chelsea are reportedly growing increasingly confident of completing a deal for Santos striker Gabriel Barbosa.
That’s according to Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror, who has reported the 19-year-old, known as “Gabigol,” is edging closer to the Blues in a possible £25 million transfer. Juventus are also said to be interested in the forward, although Chelsea are said to have an “offer on the table” and the player is reportedly keen on moving to the Premier League.
There’s always a degree of excitement when a young Brazilian player emerges, although the hype seems to have credence when it comes to Barbosa.
