Footballers are getting to be like mobile phones ... as soon as you think you know which one is best, the next generation is already on the way.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is trying to set up a cut-price deal for the next big star of Brazilian football. The Blues are watching Santos sensation Neilton, who made headlines by scoring a hat-trick against Palmeiras in the semi-finals of the Copa Sao Paulo Under-19s' tournament. It is believed there is a £5million buy-out clause in the 19-year-old's contract, and Santos are now trying to renegotiate the deal to stop him escaping on the cheap. European champions Chelsea and Manchester United are closely watching developments with a player already dubbed the "new Neymar" in Brazil. Abramovich previously became embroiled in a bidding war for superstar Neymar, who is now tipped to go to Barcelona.
