The young Atletico Paranaense player has confirmed his move to Premier League in his Instagram and other social media platforms. The Premier giants though are yet to confirm the news officially.
He had captioned a photograph on Instagram, “A dream is coming true! First of all I want to thank God for always lighting my way, my dad who always believed in my talent and was a real warrior while helping me to reach my goals, my family and friends who always supported me.
“And I am also thankful to Club Atletico Paranaense, which was part of this journey and where I played for 6 years of my career. Thank you Chelsea for trusting in me, I will do my best to support my team on reaching new achievements. WE ARE ALL BLUE.”
