Chelsea boss in the race for Brazilian wonderkid, Richarlison, who could be the Blues’ fifth summer signing.Despite already signing four players this summer, Chelsea are looking to make it five, as they have made a move for Brazilian prodigy Richarlison.
Richarlison is already close to signing for Ajax Amsterdam from Fluminense for £12million and had provisionally agreed a five-year contract but the Premier League champions have stepped in to try and tempt him to England.
The 20-year old was linked with AC Milan and Manchester United in recent weeks only for his agent Renato Velasco to discount any approach from those clubs.
Speaking to FCInterNews.it last week, Velasco said: “Yes, there is interest from a few clubs in your country.
“Inter and Sampdoria, yes, but not the Rossoneri, at least not right now.

“The truth is that he is ready to play for any club, big or small and there is a lot of speculation around him.
“He is talking about Italy, but also England and Holland.”
The Brazil U20 international can play on either wing or as a striker and has also been speaking to Sampdoria and Inter Milan.
