Pele has revealed he told Santos star Neymar to reject a move to Chelsea last season.

Pele says he has long since advised the player's family that the Premier League could be too rough.

The Brazil legend said: "Neymar could play in Spain. It is the kind of football that is suited to his characteristics.

"Eight months ago he could have gone to England, but I told his father that this style is not for him."
