Arsenal, Chelsea remain in hunt for Santos attacker Kai Jorge

Arsenal and Chelsea remain in the hunt for Santos attacker Kaio Jorge.

The Daily Star says the 19-year-old has been turning heads in the Brasileiro and has even earned the lofty mantle as the 'next Ronaldo'.

And that praise hasn't gone unnoticed: Arsenal's technical director, Edu, is reportedly a big fan of the youngster, whilst Chelsea are also keeping tabs on the Brazilian.

Juventus are also in the hunt - wanting to offer him a 'forever home' - whilst Bayer Leverkusen will try and tempt him to Germany with the promise of football now and act as a stepping stone in his career.

Jorge shone for Santos as they reached the final of the Copa Libertadores last campaign, only to lose to Palmeiras.

He has continued that form into this season, however, Santos have failed to reciprocate the same and look set for an early exit from South America's biggest club competition this time around.
