Chelsea, West Ham target Gabigol hints at Flamengo exit

Inter Milan-owned striker Gabriel Barbosa has hinted he's ready to leave Flamengo to return to Europe.

Reports in Brazil have linked the striker with a switch to London after claiming Chelsea and West Ham have made enquiries about a transfer.

Barbosa is on loan at Flamengo, who want to sign him on a permanent basis from parent club Inter Milan.

However the 23-year-old could be set for a move to the Premier League, after seemingly bidding farewell to the Flamengo fans on social media.

In a message posted on Twitter , Barbosa said: "Thank you for your love."

Flamengo fans were convinced Barbosa's message is a sign that he is now set to leave the club.
