The player in question is Neymar of Paris Saint Germain.
The Brazilian made a name for himself at FC Barcelona and won the Champions League as part of one of the best attacking line ups world football has ever seen – Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
However, he then made a major move to PSG and his career has stagnated somewhat.
Neymar continues to put up solid numbers but his constant injuries and PSG’s poor displays in Europe has led to fans turning on him.
Now, with talk of Neymar departing the Parc des Princes in the summer, he has been linked with a Premier League switch.
A report from Spanish outlet Fichajes claims that Chelsea dream of signing the 31-year-old Brazilian international.
Neymar scored 18 and assisted 17 in all competitions last season and would improve either of the sides if he was signed.
But as Chelsea have no form of European football next term, they may have a hard time convincing the Brazilian to make the switch.
Liverpool & Newcastle the only teams willing to meet asking price of midfielder
