Chelsea are pressing ahead with talks for Palmeiras winger Estevao Willian.
The 17-year old will cost around £27.5million plus substantial add ons and he is keen to make the move to London.
Mail Sport reported on Monday that Estevao was one of a number of South American talents that Chelsea have been tracking while they are also keen on Shakhtar Donetsk's 21-year old playmaker Georgiy Sudakov.
Estevao, known as Messinho or Little Messi, cannot leave Brazil until he turns 18 next April but Chelsea are keen to head off competition amid interest from Arsenal and Barcelona.
