Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal to sign Sao Paulo starlet Lucas Piazon when he turns 18.
Press Association Sport understands the Blues are poised to beat off competition from Juventus for the 17-year-old, who is currently playing for Brazil in the South American Under-17 Championship.
Dubbed 'the new Kaka' by some commentators, Piazon was first linked with a move to Chelsea two years ago.
He was also courted by Juve, who appeared to have won the race for the teenager two months ago after he spent a week training with the Italian giants.
