Chelsea hold talks with agent, eager to sign Brazilian forward

Chelsea are eyeing a move for Watford forward Richarlison.

The Blues have held talks with the Brazilian’s agent Giuliano Bertolucci in recent weeks.

The 20-year-old has impressed this season since joining from Fluminense, scoring five goals and providing five assists in the Premier League.

He joined Watford an £11.2 million deal from Fluminense last summer, but he is believed to be keen on a move to a bigger club.

Richarlison progressed through America Mineiro’s youth set-up, before being promoted to the senior side in 2015.

He made his professional debut in July that year against Mogi Mirim.
