Neymar warms to Chelsea move

Brazil international Neymar has expressed his desire to one day play for Chelsea in the English Premier League.

Fresh from a match-winning brace in his country’s 2-0 friendly victory over Scotland at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, the 19-year-old Santos forward said a move to move to London sometime in his career is on the cards.

“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,” Neymar told Sky Sports.

“When the moment comes we are going to sit with my family. We are going to think about it and discuss the options.”

The teenager was sought after by Chelsea’s recruiters prior to the the 2010/11 English Premier League season, but told the club he was not yet ready to move so far away from his South American home.

“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 said.

A product of Santos, Neymar is content to stay at the Brazilian powerhouse. He claimed that divine intervention would help him decide on whether he one day plays for Chelsea, which is currently home to three of Neymar’s countrymen: David Luiz, Ramires and Alex.

“I am happy there (at Santos) and, when the time comes, God will make me take the right decision and things will happen.”
