Chelsea has just struck a blow by enlisting Angelo Gabriel, announced as the future Neymar. The young 18-year-old winger will therefore discover European games, but will face tough competition in attack. Aware that places will be expensive this season with the Blues, the club could lend him in stride to the RC Strasbourg to acclimatize to European football.
Chelsea take the lead and sign the future Neymar
Angelo Gabriel and Neymar have a similar story. Indeed, the young winger leaves the Santos training center, team in which the Ney played ten years ago. Chelsea can rub their hands, as the contract is a long-term lease. In competition with several clubs on this issue, Mauricio Pochettino’s team had to pay between 15 and 20 million euros. The leaders did not hide their satisfaction by presenting the 18-year-old player as a future star:
A left-handed winger regularly used on the right side of Santos’ front line, Angelo became the youngest player in Brazil’s national league history when he made his debut against Fluminense in the Maracanã aged just 15. and 308 days,” concluded Chelsea.
But due to the London club’s swollen squad, the player could already be loaned out. If this option is possible, priority will be given to the RC Strasbourg.
Todd Boehly has a pretty clear plan for Brazilian crack
As you know, RC Strasbourg and Chelsea are owned by American businessman Todd Boehly. The billionaire has a pretty specific plan for Angelo and could lend him to the Alsatian club for a season. When he arrives in France, he will be able to play with other young stars of the club, including Abakar Sylla.
In 12 matches in the Brazilian Serie A, the young winger was started 5 times and took the opportunity to score 2 goals and awarded an assist. In the Brazilian Cup, the future Neymar scored 2 goals, but his figures for this season are more interesting than those of previous ones. It is especially in the register of decisive passes that it will be necessary to get the best out of the player.
As proof, he distilled 7 assists plus 2 goals in 36 matches. It also offers several possibilities in attack, whether in attack or in the middle. But it is much more on the right flank that the left-hander expresses himself best and is the most dangerous. It remains to be seen what Chelsea will decide, for now it’s time for the American tour.
