Chelsea have the inside track on landing Watford striker Richarlison this summer.

He is without a goal in 17 outings, but that has not stopped his name being mentioned in connection with Chelsea and London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham.

Richarlison said this week: “In the future you never know but I leave all things like that up to my agent."

And the Watford Observer says Chelsea have an edge in any race for his signature.

Richarlison is close to Chelsea duo David Luiz and Willian, so giving them an advantage in the battle for the Watford striker.
