Chelsea FC is on the verge of signing teenage Brazilian winger Gabriel Mec, dubbed the "new Neymar" due to his impressive skills and playing style reminiscent of the Paris Saint-Germain star. Mec, who has impressed scouts with his rapid footwork and ability to fool defenders, is expected to join the Blues in a deal that would continue the club's busy transfer window.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea has opened talks with Gremio to understand the deal conditions, and the club is pushing to secure the signing. Analyst Ben Mattinson has praised Mec, calling him a "joy to watch" and a "real throwback Brazilian" with a playing style similar to Ronaldinho and Neymar.

The signing of Mec would add to Chelsea's growing list of new recruits, including six fresh faces already added to the squad at an estimated cost of £93 million. The Blues are also close to signing Argentine teenager Aaron Anselmino, who would join the club but be loaned back to Boca Juniors for the rest of the season.

While Mec is expected to join the first team, other signings like Caleb Wiley may be sent out on loan, with the American youngster rumored to join Strasbourg in France. Chelsea's transfer business is far from over, with more signings expected in the coming weeks.
