Chelsea have already signed Rayan Cherki alternative going under the radar despite elite stats

Of all the Chelsea players signed during the Todd Boehly regime, one player is going under the radar.

Not currently at Cobham and training with the first team, the Blues decided to loan Brazilian forward Angelo to Strasbourg for the 2023/24 season and are reaping the rewards. The 19-year-old was signed byChelsea in the summer from Santos for a fee in the region of £13million and looks to already be living up to that valuation during his time in Ligue 1.

Latest stats published byDataMB shows the teenager is providing the most key passes per 90 minutes out of any U20 player in Europe's top five leagues. Angelo is also one of the leading performers when it comes to expected assists per 90 minutes.

Among those Angelo is outshining when it comes to key passes are Lyon's Rayan Cherki and Bayern Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, two players Mauricio Pochettino's side have been linked with moves in the past. Chelsea's Brazilian star is ranked in the 97th percentile for key passes and 91st for progressive carries of the ball.

His most recent assist came against league leaders Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, during which he caught the eye for his attacking ability. Angelo set up Strasbourg's only goal of the game in their 2-1 defeat.

The youngster beat Lucas Hernandez down the right flank before playing a teasing ball into the box for team-mate Dilane Bakwa to score at the back post. This represented his fourth assist of the season.
