Fluminense full-back Wallace claims that he is on the verge of signing for Chelsea.

Fluminense full-back Wallace has claimed that he is on the verge of signing for Chelsea.

Juventus and Napoli have also been credited with an interest in Wallace, but the 18-year-old appears to have his heart set on joining fellow Brazilians Oscar, Ramires, David Luiz and Lucas Piazon at Stamford Bridge.

"It's always helpful having Brazilian teammates playing alongside you, as they normally are settled down, so they can give you some advice and this is important, even regarding language," he told Fox Sports Brasil.

"Now that I'm moving to London I'll have to learn some English but they are used to this and they will surely help me a lot.

"I used to follow the Spanish league and its big clubs like Real Madrid but now as I'm moving to Chelsea I'm following the club more closely, especially after the Champions League title.

"I watch Chelsea games whenever I can, sometimes I can't watch because I'm playing or concentrated with my team, but I don't miss a chance to see them playing on TV."

Wallace is expected to cost the Blues a transfer fee in the region of £5m.
