The next Dani Alves? Wesley set to add the 'Gasolina' to the Juventus engine

Cafu, Dani Alves, Maicon - Brazil has produced some of the best right-backs of the last 30 years, and now Juventus look to have got their hands on the latest flying full-back off the Selecao production line.

Wesley de Oliveira, known predominantly by his first name, confirmed on Thursday that he is set to sign a contract with the Serie A champions after rejecting the opportunity to stay at Flamengo.

The 19-year-old has been linked with the Bianconeri for a number of months and, with Mino Raiola pulling the strings in the background, the deal is now set to be rubber-stamped ahead of next season.
