Two Premier League clubs are said to have joined the bidding war for Brazilian wonderkid Messinho.

The Palmeiras starlet earned the name due to his love of Lionel Messi, and is now attracting interest from top clubs around Europe.

Mundo Deportivo has outlined that Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City all want to sign the player legally named Estevao Willian.

The source also adds that Manchester United and Chelsea are two new entrants in the race.

All the clubs are set for a tug of war to convince Estevao to join them instead of their rivals.

The player has a release clause in the region of €60 million, which does simplify negotiations with Palmeiras.
