Will Neymar be heading to the Premier League this summer?

Brazil’s latest whiz kid Neymar is being linked with a big money move to Premier League Chelsea.

And he has added weight to the rumours by stating it would be a dream move for him.

He is currently hot property with most of Europe’s top teams tracking him.

Dream

Neymar told Sky Sports:

“Chelsea’s a great club. It’s a dream of every player to play at Chelsea. If one day it happens, I will be very happy to come. When the moment comes we are going to sit with my family. We are going to think about it and discuss the options.”

The Premier League is arguably the best league in the world alongside La Liga and most players would like to try their luck in England’s top flight. It seems that Neymar is no different.

Prodigy

Brazil have a seemingly non-stop conveyor belt of top players coming through the countries youth ranks. Neymar is just the latest prodigy to come off that conveyor belt. The 19 year-old has been earning rave reviews playing for his club side Santos and for the Brazilian junior sides.

The nimble youngster is the worse kept secret in world football. Many people believe that he is set to become the next world superstar. He impressed immensely in Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Scotland, scoring twice and giving the Scottish defence no end of problems. He is being somewhat prematurely compared to Brazilian football legend Pele.

Lightweight

The 19 year-old is currently quite lightweight and his physique isn’t yet ideal for the rough and tumble of the Premier League. He did surprise me against Scotland though as he seemed quite strong up against difficult physical opponents. He will no doubt get stronger with age and experience.

Young

Last summer Chelsea tried to sign the youngster. Neymar however discussed the move with his family and decided that he was too young to move away from his home country. He is still quite young and maybe it is still too soon for him to make a move abroad.

International

Neymar is already considered an important player for the future of the Brazilian national side. He is part of a new wave of young Brazilian talent that is expected to challenge for honours in the future. In fact he is considered to be the player that Brazilian head coach Mano Menezes wants to build his new look team around.

Benefit

Menezes seems to believe that Neymar would benefit from a move to the English top flight. He told Sky Sports:

“I think that could only be good for Neymar as it would be confirmation of his development. English football would make him stronger and help to escape strong marking. I don’t see any problem. But Brazil fans will be deprived of watching a good player.”

It’s unlikely that fans of the Brazilian domestic league will be enjoying the youngster’s talents for much longer. His club Santos are believed to be looking for

Where will Diego Forlan end up this summer?

Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan looks set to leave the capital side this summer.

The 31 year-old has long been linked with a move elsewhere but according to sources in Spain he will move this summer.

A host of top European teams have been tracking him but the big question is where will he end up?

Unsettled

Diego Forlan has allegedly been unhappy at Atletico for awhile now because of the clubs perceived lack of ambition.

He is also believed to have offended some of his teammates because they feel that doesn’t want to play for the club anymore. There is even talk that he isn’t even on talking terms with some of his teammates. This all adds up to one thing and that’s a move elsewhere.

Prolific

There will be no shortage of takers for the Uruguayan international if he should become available this summer. He has been a prolific scorer of goals in La Liga for Atletico Madrid and before that for Villarreal.

He has also scored 29 goals for his country and scored five goals to help his country to the semi-finals of last year’s World Cup.

Failure

To La Liga fans Diego Forlan is a superb striker who can produce moments of brilliance. However to most English football fans he is a failure. He spent an unhappy spell at Manchester United earlier in his career and he became the butt of many a joke about the lack of goals.

He ended up making 63 appearances for the Red Devils and scored ten goals. That record isn’t the greatest but he was quite young when he joined United and much was expected of him. Unfortunately English football just didn’t suit his style.

There have been rumour’s in the English media that the 31 year-old could make a return to the Premier League. The likes of Tottenham and Everton have been linked with the striker but he must ask himself if the English top flight is for him.

Point

Forlan may feel that he has a point to prove and a move to the Premier League this summer would let him prove that point next season. The experience he has gained during his career in La Liga would help him cope with the English top flight, even if it is a completely different style of football.

Italy

Another interesting option for the Atletico star appears to be Serie A. When asked if the Italian top flight interested him he told Gazzetta Dello Sport: “I do not exclude that in the future,”

“If a good offer came to me and the club, a proposal that was not only suitable economically but also from the perspective that it was an important club, (then) I would accept.”

I believe that Italian football would suit Forlan’s style far better than the Premier League. However Forlan is now a different player to the one that was laughed at by the English press in his United career. One thing that looks really unlikely is the striker staying in the capital with Atletico.

Last Chance

At 31 years of age wherever Forlan decides to move needs to be exactly the right move for him as it could be his last big move. I would like Diego Forlan to come back to the Premier League just so he could prove his critics wrong.

I have watched him perform in La Liga for the last couple of years and like many other observers believe he is still a top player.

Where will Diego Forlan end up next?

Arsenal Captain Fabregas Will Complete £35m Barcelona Move Next Summer?

The countdown to the arrival of Arsenal ace Cesc Fabregas has started in Barcelona, with Sport.es convinced he will be at Camp Nou in ten months.

Despite Javier Mascherano’s arrival from Liverpool, coach Pep Guardiola has left a space in his team for Fabregas, with the Blaugrana chiefs under order to sign the Gunners ace next summer.

Barcelona were hopeful of landing the playmaker this summer, but Arsenal and boss Arsene Wenger were able to resist offers and turn Fabregas’ head back towards the Emirates.

However, speculative voices in Spain suggest the relationship between manager and player has become frosty, and Fabregas will be convinced to pack his bags if Wenger’s promises of trophies fail. (NBC Sport)

The Spanish press seems convinced that Cesc Fabregas will be on his way to the Nou Camp next summer and even Barcelona midfielder Xavi stated as much in a very sly interview he gave last week so will such a deal be struck?

Arsenal turned down offers from the Catalan giants and made it clear they were not interested in negotiating a fee for a player they clearly have no intention of selling but will the Spanish midfielder push for a move if the north London club make it six straight seasons without silverware?

Speculation is rife that president Sandro Rosell will make a
