Chelsea agree deal for
future Brazilian superstar
The Brazilian recently
confirmed he was in talks
with the West London side
after they agreed a fee with
the Ukrainian club thought to
be in the region of £11
million.
Taison has been playing his
football in
Ukraine for the
last two years after he left
his home land,
Brazil , in 2010.
He played 136 games for the
Brazilian club, Internacional,
with 20 goals before a more
prolific spell at Metalist
Kharkiv; 13 goals in 57 games.
He becomes the latest
Brazilian sensation to join
the
Champions League
holders following the arrival
of Oscar last summer.
Chelsea have also been long
term hunters of another
Brazilian wonder kid,
Neymar.
Taison is one of the most
versatile attacking players
that Chelsea could have
targeted as he can play down
either wing, in a central
attacking position or up front
as a main striker. It is a
massive giveaway sign that
Chelsea are looking to
maintain their style of
flooding their attack with
small play makers who are
all extremely talented on the
ball.
This is a move which has
been criticised due to the
physical nature of the
Premier League but a tactic
which more and more top
European sides are mirroring,
based on the successful
Barcelona side of the last
few years.
Despite his impressive career
records at Internacional and
Metalist Kharkiv, he is yet to
make his debut for the
Brazilian national team.
If the fee being mentioned in
latest reports is accurate
then it will mean Metalist are
set to make a profit of £9
million plus add-ons having
originally signed the player
for just under €3 million
(roughly £2.43 million).
If the deal goes through
without a hitch then Taison
will become Chelsea’s
second January signing
following Demba Ba from
Newcastle United .
