Chelsea winger Angelo Gabriel has joined Saudi side Al-Nassr for a fee of ₤19.1 million.

The Brazilian, who was signed last summer from Santos in a deal worth ₤13 million, never actually played for the West London side.

Instead he spent last season on loan in Ligue 1 with sister club Strasbourg, for whom he made 24 appearances in all competitions.

With his new club, Gabriel can look forward to playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo among others.

Gabriel had made his debut for Santos when he was still just 15 years old, making him the youngest player to have ever made his debut in Brazilian top flight football.

A sell-on clause has been included in the deal, whilst his sale helps Chelsea balance their books even further after another summer of intense transfer activity.
