Chelsea to cough up £10M for Metalist Kharkiv winger Taison

Chelsea will cough up £10 million to sign Brazilian winger Taison Freda. The Daily Mail says Chelsea want to sign Brazilian midfielder Taison from Ukrainian club Metalist Kharkiv in January. Taison, 24, was invited to Stamford Bridge for the draw against Fulham and even that performance has not put him off.

The move has been complicated by work permit issues because Taison has never represented Brazil but Chelsea will make an application under the 'special talent' rule in January.

They will pay around £10million for the midfielder.
