Brazilian player linked with Nottingham Forest is now signing for Chelsea

Nottingham Forest are going to miss out on the chance to sign Deivid Washington from Santos this summer. The player is now travelling to England but will instead sign for Chelsea.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues are set to get their man. They’re going to win the race to sign the striker, with an initial fee of £15 million now agreed.

Chelsea will also fork out another £2 million in add-ons. Washington will be signed on the back of a serious injury to Christopher Nkunku who will be out for around three months.

The 18-year-old has been in decent goalscoring form for Santos. During the 2023 campaign, he’s scored six goals from 22 appearances and he’s set to become a big player.
