Chelsea winger Angelo Gabriel will join Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr on a permanent deal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 19-year-old signed for the Blues from Santos for £13 million last year and he had a promising pre-season tour of the United States.
Despite this, he was loaned out to sister club Strasbourg where he failed to score in his 24 appearances across all competitions.
It is now reported that Gabriel will move to the Middle East after Al-Nassr triggered a £19.4m release clause in his Blues contract.
The teenager has already accepted terms with Al-Nassr and he is expected to join them ahead of tonight's Saudi transfer deadline.
Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei were also tipped to leave earlier in the summer, but the duo will now stay in the first team squad.
Chelsea could re-enter the transfer market at the turn of the year and there is a possibility that they could be more departures by then.
