Santos wonderkid signs new deal

 

Santos forward Gabriel Barbosa has the chance to join Chelsea in order to sign a new deal with the Brazilian club, according to UOL, via Goal.com.

 

Barbosa, 19, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer and Chelsea had reportedly lodged a £25.7m offer for the teenager.

 

However, Barbosa has snubbed Chelsea’s interest and put pen to paper on a new five-year deal keeping him at the club until 2021.
