Posted by kwame on January 25, 2008
Chelsea have signed Argentina Under-20 international striker Franco Di Santo on a four-and-a-half year
contract. The 18-year-old arrives at Stamford Bridge from Chilean side Audax Italiano for an undisclosed fee.
Despite standing 6ft 4in tall Di Santo, who holds an Italian passport, has been compared to diminutive Argentina legend Diego Maradona.
Chelsea have reportedly paid more than £3m for Di Santo, who was also linked with Manchester United and Liverpool.
