Chelsea are in talks over a deal worth more than £17million to sell Deivid Washington to sister club Strasbourg.

Washington joined Chelsea from Santos for £17.1m last summer, and the Brazilian is highly rated.

After just three substitute appearances, young Brazilian Deivid Washington will move on to Strasbourg, who are owned by BlueCo, the multi-club ownership group which also controls Chelsea.

According to French media outlet L’Equipe, Strasbourg have agreed a deal worth £17.7m to sign Washington.

The deal for Deivid Washington will make the 19-year-old Strasbourg’s club-record signing.

Chelsea will not lose their investment on Washington, who will continue his development at Strasbourg.
