Chelsea And Neymar

Santos forward Neymar, 19, is rated as one of the finest young talents in world football and has been linked with a host of top clubs.

We attempted to sign the player last summer and, whiled we failed to agree a fee, our chief scout, Piet de Visser, confirmed last month that we are still interested in the youngster.

Other clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester City have been linked with the player but he seem to have made up his mind about joining Chelsea.

''Chelsea's a great club. It's a dream of every player to play at Chelsea. If one day it happens, I will be very happy to come,'' he told Sky Sports News.''When the moment comes we are going to sit with my family. We are going to think about it and discuss the options.''Last year, when Chelsea came, we sat together and we thought it wasn't the time yet. If it happens this year, we are going to sit again and going to discuss about it.''

He was even scouted by Ancelotti and Mancini Over the weekend during the friendly match between Brazil and Scotland where he performed admirably by scoring two goals.

David Luiz has also chipped in that he will love to see his compatriot at Stamford bridge.

''I would love it if Neymar came to Chelsea. He is going to be one of the best players in the world.'

We seem to have changed our mentality of signing aging players. I hope He will finally come to the bridge to showcase his wonderful talents.
