Chelsea are ready to rival Tottenham for Watford's Brazilian dazzler Richarlison.

The Sun says the 20 year-old's impact sparked interest from Tottenham.

But Blues boss Antonio Conte is also ready to join the race.

Richarlison caught the ­Italian's eye during the Hornets' 4-2 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge last month.

Conte is in the market for a versatile, attacking option and will also have Inter Milan wing-back Antonio Candreva scouted today against Atalanta.

The Samba star has scored four goals in just 12 appearances since his £13million move from Fluminense during the summer.
