Chelsea are on the verge of completing the signing of Deivid Washington from Santos.

The 18-year-old forward was left out of Santos' squad for their game against Athletico Paranense over the weekend.

Per The Telegraph, the two clubs have agreed on a fee and personal terms are also sorted.

Chelsea are set to pay Athletico 12 million for his services, plus 4 million in add-ons.

It was a request from the president," Athletico manager Paulo Turra told reporters on not selecting Washington.

Not a request... an order from the president. That he's being sold and everyone knows it."
