Arsenal join Chelsea in race to sign Brazilian wonderkid

Arsenal have joined Chelsea in the race to sign Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The 16-year-old is one of the best young talents in world football and his playing style has been compared to Neymar.

He has already made a huge impression in the youth ranks at Palmeiras and there are no surprises that there is high interest.

Chelsea were recently linked with a move for him and it is now claimed that Arsenal are prepared to bid hard for his services.

However, the London giants are still trailing behind Barcelona, who are currently the undisputed and clear-cut choice for Estevao.

The wonderkid has revealed the same to Palmeiras. The Brazilian outfit will wait for Barcelona's proposal before assessing others.

The La Liga giants are currently in a deep financial mess and there is no guarantee that they will afford his services in future.

The youngster currently has a €60m release clause in his deal. He will be allowed to move to European football after turning 18.
