Chelsea will announce the £4.5million signing of Brazilian wonderkid Nathan on Wednesday in a move that will come as a significant blow to Manchester City.

Premier League champions City had hoped to tie up a deal after first spotting the player at the World Under 17 Championships two years ago.

Nathan joins the already strong Brazilian contingent at Chelsea, moving alongside Willian, Ramires, Filipe Luis and Oscar.

The staggering potential of Nathan, who can also play as a secondary striker, means he could feature in Jose Mourinho’s first team next season.
