Brazil boss Mano Menezes says Santos star Neymar would thrive in the Premier League.

A target for Chelsea, Neymar struck twice in Brazil's victory over Scotland yesterday.

Menezes said: "I think that could only be good for Neymar as it would be confirmation of his development.

"English football would make him stronger and help to escape strong marking.

"I don't see any problem.

"But Brazil fans will be deprived of watching a good player."
