Chelsea Sign Teenage Striker Deivid Washington From Santos

Teenage Brazilian striker Deivid Washington has joined Chelsea from Santos for £17m.

Washington has signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge with the option for a further year.

The 18-year-old played 16 times for the Santos senior team after coming through the youth ranks and scored two goals.

Upon signing, Washington said: "I'm very happy to be joining a huge team like Chelsea.

"I can't wait to make my debut here at such a big club with loads of goals and assists."

It remains to be seen whether Washington will be sent on loan or retained to compete for a spot in the Chelsea attack.

Chelsea are winless in their opening two Premier League games this season and host newly promoted Luton Town on Friday.
