Chelsea have been encouraged in their pursuit of Palmeiras wonderkid Endrick.

ESPN says PSG have had two offers rejected for the forward.

The Parisians submitted an offer worth £39.5million but it will take £52.7m - the player's release clause - to seal a deal.

However, the news of Palmeiras rejecting PSG's offer comes as a boost to Premier League big boys Chelsea.

The report states that the Blues are following the situation closely and are willing to match PSG should they meet Endrick's release clause.

Endrick will then decide where his future lies - not those around him.

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva could play a vital role in the transfer race for the up-and-coming Brazil star.

The Times has reported that the London-based team used defender Silva to help host Endrick and his family at Cobham.
