Chelsea clinch new signing

Chelsea are set to wrap up the signing of Brazilian defender Wallace, according to Sky Sports. The London-based club already have Brazilians David Luiz and Oscar on the books, and appear set to sign Wallace from Fluminense.

According to the report, the Blues will sign the 18 year old in a £4.4 million deal.

Fluminense manager Abel Braga has admitted that the club have been scouting the player for quite some time, and went on to call Wallace a “great player.”

“Wallace has been negotiated for a long time,” Braga admitted. “He is a player that has impressed. Do you think people abroad sign someone based on one game?

“They watch a player for two, three months – sometimes even a year. They are taking a great player and Fluminense are completely right in selling him.”
