The Premier League elite are queueing up to land Brazilian youngster Neymar.

The Santos star has been on the radar of Premier League, La Liga and Serie 'A' clubs for some time now, and reports in Brazil suggest that teams are finally ready to make their move for the 17-year-old.Manchester United and Arsenal are believed to be the main contenders from the Premier League, although Chelsea and Manchester City are also linked.

Rumours that Neymar had signed a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid, allowing the Bernabeu side to take the 'new Robinho' anytime until 2011, have been firmly denied by his club Santos.



The Brazilian under-17 star scored on his only appearance at that level for the national side, and netted a brace for his club side at the weekend in the 4-0 win over Coritiba.

The teenage starlet's stock continues to rise, although his comments after the win suggest he's more than happy in his homeland at the moment.

“I’m happy to be a part of this group," said Neymar.

"The season has not panned out as we hoped but this win shows what Santos can do in 2010."
