Chelsea, Arsenal face Euro competition for Watford striker Richarlison

The race for Watford striker Richarlison is intensifying.

The Mirror says Paris St Germain and Monaco are on the trail of Brazilian striker Richarlison — despite his loss of form.

The 20-year-old South American star, signed for £11.2million from Fluminense last year, is a wanted man this summer with Chelsea also in the race to sign the youngster along with Arsenal.

But his form has dipped and he hasn't scored in 22 games since netting against West Ham in November.

That forced manager Javi Gracia to drop the youngster for the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.

Despite slapping a hefty £40m fee on the star Watford expect clubs to come calling this summer — with PSG and Monaco showing real interest in the youngster.
