06 March 2009 16:40
Skysports.com 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.
