Chelsea refuse to give up their pursuit of Santos star Neymar. The Sunday Mirror says Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has been asked by owner Roman Abramovich to oversee a major overhaul of the Stamford Bridge playing resources.
The 19-year-old striker will not come cheaply, but he is the star name that the Blues want to recruit as they prepare for a new golden era.
Neymar is due to play for his club Santos in today's World Club Championship final against Barcelona in Japan. He scored nine goals in just 15 appearances for Brazil and is one of the hottest properties in world football.
Sources in Brazil claim the youngster will only be sold if one of the pursuing clubs shells out around £45million. An excessive amount for a teenager, but there's no doubting his ability.
