Santos young gun Neymar set to decide on Chelsea

Santos teenager Neymar will decide on a potential move to Chelsea on Tuesday according to reports.

The 18-year old Brazilian whiz kid is weighing up a £24million offer from the Blues and will make a decision very soon according to his agent.

"Neymar is meeting with his family, and they will decide what they want. Then we will have a conversation with Santos. Everything will be decided this week," said Wagner Ribiero.

Chelsea have been accused of 'tapping up' Neymar by Santos but Blues chairman Bruce Buck has denied those claims.

"There was no tapping up from Chelsea, and I want to be clear on that," Buck said.

"We are looking at several young Brazilian players, and he is one of the players we have been looking at. Whether he becomes a Chelsea player at some point, who knows?"
