Chelsea have signed up and coming prospect Franco di Santo from Audax Italiano for a fee of around £3.4 million. The 6 foot 4 striker opted to join Chelsea ahead of several European giants such as Benfica, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Marseille.

  • The Blues have agreed a deal worth $7million (£3.4million) with his club - Chilean outfit Audax Italiano and will link up with the London club in January.



    From 35 starts he has bagged 13 goals in less than two seasons, and has also shone for Argentina’s youth sides after he opted to play for the country of his birth rather than Chile - who also wanted him.



    “Everything is nearly agreed, there are only a few details to be resolved but there will not be any problems,” Audax president Valentin Cantergiani confirmed.



    “We only have to agree the fee that Audax will receive if Di Santo is transferred again in the future and that’s all. All the rest has been arranged.



    “We are exchanging the last documents.”
