Premier League clubs in the hunt to sign the 'new Neymar'

Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are all linked with a move for Brazilian wonderkid Victor Andrade while Liverpool and Newcastle United are keeping track on the player's progress

Brazilian starlet Andrade, who is labelled as the 'new Neymar' plys his trade for Brazilian outfit Santos, the same club from which Neymar rised to fame. The talented forward is yet to sign a new deal at the club as a number of top European clubs hover to acquire his services. 


NVA Entertainment Group who are now Andrade's agents have asserted that English clubs are amongst those trying to sign the talented forward.


A spokesman from the NVA Entertainment Group said: "We can confirm that there is interest in England in Victor, and not unsurprisingly from some of the bigger clubs.

"Victor is a wonderful talent, but we and his family are calm and we are confident his future will be resolved at the right time, in the right way."

Andrade suggested that he would be willing to move to Europe, as he looks to seal a berth in the Brazilian National squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Andrade told the Daily Mirror: "Quite simply, I would love to play in Europe.

"I think it will be a great education for me. Everybody around the world knows about the strength of the Premier League."

He also added : "It is a very exciting prospect for me. My dream is to play for Brazil in the World Cup and I believe that moving to Europe will help me because it will help my all-round game.

"I have no problem with Santos. They have helped me a lot. But I think the time is right for me to experience a change."
