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.”
He is all set to join the likes of fellow Brazilians Ramires, Willian, Oscar and Felipe Luis in the Chelsea squad. Nathan has represented the U17 and U20 Brazilian national teams. After his impressive performance in the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup, Brazilian club Atletico Paranaense signed him. He has played 20 games for the club scoring 1 goal.
