Chelsea are reported to be among the clubs showing an interest in Brazilian sensation Gabriel Barbosa.The forward currently plays his football in Brazil with Santos, but there is every chance he will follow fellow countryman Neymar by signing for one of Europe's top clubs in the near future.
Barbosa is hoping to shine at the Copa America with Brazil this month and Chelsea will be keeping a close eye on his performances at the tournament.
Manchester United and Arsenal are also reported to be keen, but the player will not come cheap as he has a £40million release clause in his current deal.
Matching such a figure would not be a problem for the Premier League trio and a battle for his signature could be on the cards.
Reports claim Chelsea are monitoring his progress but are not in the process of making a bid as Antonio Conte also has other targets in mind and does not want any more Brazilians in his squad.
