Yes, please! I have seen some games of him and seems very good, especially in attack. Against Atletico de Madrid in champions league did a great match.

And only 22. Very promising prospect.

Interesting prospect

#Chelsea are reportedly interested in a move for 23 year old Benfica right back Nélson Semedo. (A Bola) #CFC

Benfica president Luis Felipe Vieira is currently in London to work on a future deal for Nelson Semedo. He wants at least €40m. [A Bola]

yes he can run, he can penetrate, he have understanding of football by this video but not even one tackle, we don't want another winger...

Great player and amazing prospect, probably already one of the best right backs in the world and tailor made for wing back position

Him or Sidibe would be fun to watch down that right side

Interesting. Maybe I need to see more of him.

Based on the video above, I'd say he looks rather ordinary. What we see there does not motivate me to seek out all touches videos and certainly not to watch full game coverage. He shows some competent things in the highlights package, but nothing I would not also expect Victor Moses to be able to deliver. If the club go into the market, we'd all like it to be for a clear upgrade, not a like-for-like alternative. That package does not suggest to me that this bloke is even as good as we have already, never mind better.

that video is awful.

I would implore you to give this kid another look.  

He is precisely what I want in a wingback.

OK, good suggestion. I will take a look at some all touches videos, if I can find any.

Is everyone familiar enough with Rugby Union to understand about The Barbarians RFC? For those who don't, here's a brief introduction taken from the website of The Babas, as they are known: -

"The Barbarians are a rugby club which brings together players from different clubs to play a few matches each year to enjoy the camaraderie of the game and play attacking, adventurous rugby without the pressure of having to win."

In the spirit of The Babas up and at 'em, attack, attack, attack approach, along with their commitment to playing the beautiful game at all times, wouldn't it just be amazing to see a team featuring Nelson Semedo and Theo Hernandez as their wingbacks? That team would not be dull.

I've taken the advice of @Chelsea Legend 11 and watched some more of Semedo. I like him but, given the report that Hernandez is off to Real, that pairing won't happen at Chelsea.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

The next best thing is Nelson and Mendy.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Number one on the list for me. Semedo would be one of the best signings we've made this decade.
