Chelsea boss Ancelotti: Neymar fantastic player

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he's in the dark over Santos complaints of tapping up Neymar.

Yesterday, Ancelotti played a straight bat to questions concerning Chelsea's pursuit of Brazil wonder kid Neymar.

The Blues could face a FIFA investigation over their interest in the 18-year-old after they were accused of 'tapping up' the Santos forward behind the Brazilian club's back.

Ancelotti said: "I know nothing about this. He is a fantastic player, but he is not a Chelsea player now and it's difficult for me to speak about this.

"What happened after, I am not interested. I can only speak about his technical quality.

"We are interested in all the young players that come through all over the world. Neymar is one of these, but this doesn't mean we have to buy this player."
