Chelsea’s signing of Angelo Gabriel came out of nowhere last month, and the Brazilian was on your with the Blues just days after we heard the whispers of a potential transfer.

He got to train with the first team and even make appearances in the friendly games we played out in the USA. But the plan has always been for him to spend this season playing for our new sister club Strasbourg, and Fabrizio Romano has reiterated today that this is the case.

He says that now our tour is over and the players are preparing to gather at Cobham for training tomorrow, the wheels are in motion for loans like Angeo Gabriel’s to get underway.

The youngster will presumably join Strasbourg at some point this coming week, giving him the maximum time possible to start integrating into a new setup. Romano adds that Chelsea will do a similar thing with striker Deivid Washington when he signs.
