Chelsea, Juventus watching Flamengo whiz Felipe Vizeu

Chelsea are watching Flamengo whiz Felipe Vizeu.

The Sun says the 19-year-old striker was the player of the tournament at 2016 Sao Paulo Youth Cup — and scored five goals in 15 first team appearances for Flamengo last season.

And Brazilian sports website, CoNews, report Vizeu has attracted the interest of a host of top clubs from the Premier League, Serie A and the Bundesliga.

As well as Chelsea, Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio and Borussia Dortmund are also keeping a close eye on the talent.

However, Vizeu won't come on the cheap as clubs will have to bid £25.7million to match his buy-out clause.
