German source reports Chelsea interest in Brazilian talent

Let’s be honest, there aren’t many top young talents that Chelsea aren’t linked with at some point, so this was always coming.

Kicker in Germany yesterday reported on Bayer Leverkusen’s interest in Kaio Jorge of Santos.

They write that Juventus were in pole position to sign the brilliant Brazilian, who just top scored at the U17 World Cup. But the coronavirus break has scrambled everyone’s best laid plans, and they now think that Bayer have a chance of landing him.

Their caveat is something that we can get excited about – that Chelsea are also “courting” the Santos star.

There is another reason to be hopeful too – Jorge’s agent is Giuliano Bertolucci, who also represents former Blue Oscar. The Daily Express reckon that could be important, and certainly the hierarchy at Stamford Bridge have better relations with him than with plenty of other representatives.

We will have to see what happens when the window opens – but this is all sounding a lot more promising than it was a few months ago.
