Chelsea to Sign Arsenal Star's Cousin

London's Chelsea has agreed on a long-term contract with 17-year-old Corinthians defender Denner Evangelista. The Brazilian prodigy, who is a cousin of Arsenal's center-back Gabriel, will join the London club next year when he turns 18, reports the Daily Mail.

Details: The transfer fee will be £8.25 million, with an additional £3.3 million to be paid in bonuses. Furthermore, Corinthians will retain 15% of any potential future sale of the player.

Reminder: In addition to signing this young talent, the "Blues" are planning to strengthen their squad this summer with a forward and a central defender. The London club maintains interest in Liam Delap from Ipswich, and is also closely monitoring Sam Beukema from Bologna, whose game scouts observed last week against Milan.
