Santos' Neymar tipped to eventually become Chelsea player

Santos young gun Neymar is being tipped to eventually become a Chelsea player by his agent Pini Zahavi.

The 18-year old spurned a move to Stamford Bridge to sign a new deal with his home club but Zahavi, who has been installed to oversee the players movements away from Brazil, suggests the talented midfielder will one day wear the Blue of Chelsea.

"Neymar will stay with Santos but I'm sure he will become a Chelsea player eventually," Zahavi told SunSport.

"He loves Santos and wants to win the Copa Libertadores, South America's most important competition.

"But Neymar also knows that for his career he needs to move to a big club."
