Santos whiz Neymar denies meeting Chelsea officials

Santos whiz Neymar has denied his club's claims of talks with Chelsea officials.

Santos are so furious that they have threatened to send a report to FIFA, claiming Chelsea's pursuit of the 18-year-old is 'unethical'.

But the Daily Mail says the controversial meeting was with the player's father and his agent - not Neymar, himself.

The forward, who scored on his Brazil debut in New Jersey on Tuesday, has added weight to Chelsea's insistence that no rules were broken by insisting: "I don't know anything.

"I'm a Santos player. I don't know anything about a meeting. I haven't spoken to my father - he's not at home. No offer has been received."
