According to reports from Brazil, striker Angelo Gabriel will now be part of Chelsea’s squad for the next pre-season.

According to Gazeta Esportiva, the striker will join the team once his planned transfer from Santos is completed.

The signing of Angelo is another sign that the club are sticking to their mantra of signing young players with the intention of making them the first stars of the team of the future.

One of the most exciting signings of the last 12 months has been Andrey Santos, who previously played for Brazil in the senior team.

Some members of the club are said to be happier with his capture than the club-record signing of Enzo Fernandez, which came later. Pochettino takes Angelo for the pre-season

Yesterday it was reported that the midfielder will be part of Pochettino’s plans for the Blues’ pre-season tour of the United States.
It appears he won’t be the only young star on the tour, with Angelo now rumored to be alongside him.

The upcoming pre-season campaign will be one of the most exciting in years as the Blues enter a new era under the Argentine.

Several big names have already left the club and all are eagerly awaiting signings to enable the club to try again to compete next season.

They appear to be doing everything they can to bring in Moises Caicedo from Brighton, and will do their utmost in the coming days to secure the cash-strapped midfielder for fellow midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

This morning he reported on Twitter that Ruben Loftus-Cheek will undergo a medical tomorrow before completing the move to San Siro.

“Ruben Loftus-Cheek will undergo a medical at AC Milan tomorrow, pending his transfer from Chelsea,” said McGrath.

Journalist Matt Law reported on Twitter yesterday that Chelsea and Milan have reached a £15m deal for the transfer of Loftus-Cheek. It now seems like a matter of time before the 27-year-old is officially unveiled at the San Siro.

Loftus-Cheek, who has been at Chelsea since the age of eight, is now ready to leave his youth club.

The central midfielder has been on loan at Fulham and Crystal Palace in the past, but his transfer to Italy will be his first trip abroad.

Ally McCoist said this week he still thinks Loftus-Cheek is a “great player”. He thinks the move to AC Milan could be fantastic for him too.

The Englishman played a useful role as a versatile option in Chelsea’s squad last season, but the club are clearly looking to downsize over this period.

It will certainly be interesting to see how Mauricio Pochettino’s side line up next season, especially in midfield.In the same summer, they say goodbye to players like Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante and Loftus-Cheek.
