New Chelsea signing Nathan de Souza still hasn’t officially signed a contract at the club despite a £4.5 million deal being agreed last week.

Chelsea beat off a host of rival clubs for the young star who came to prominence two years ago. It was at the Under 17 World Cup in 2013 when Nathan struck five goals in five games and caught the football world by storm.

Since that tournament Nathan has been playing for Atlético Paranaense but a contract dispute gave Chelsea their opportunity.
