understands that Chelsea are set to hand a trial to teenage keeper
Ricardo Prasel.
The 18-year-old is believed to be heading to London on Sunday to
hold talks with the Blues.
Reports suggest an agreement has already been reached which will
then see the Brazilian spend the next month training with the
Stamford Bridge outfit.
The youngster is available as a free agent, with his only
previous experience coming in his homeland at amateur side Club
Atletico Juventus of Sao Paulo.
He is highly regarded by Chelsea, though, with his commanding
frame and willingness to learn impressing the Blues' scouting
network.
Another bonus for Guus Hiddink's side comes with the news that
Prasel is expected to be granted a German passport next month,
removing the need to obtain a work permit.
