Chelsea and Todd Boehly have been dealt a blow in their race for Palmeiras wonderkid Endrick who has been labelled the 'next Neymar'. The Blues are not the only club keeping close tabs on the Brazilian though as Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are thought to be leading the race alongside the Blues.
The 16-year-old helped Palmeiras win the Brazilian Serie A earlier this month after scoring three goals in just seven appearances following his promotion to the senior team just a few months ago.
His undeniable talent has already seen him become one of the most wanted attacking prospects in the footballing world prompting interest from European heavyweights despite his inexperience at the senior level of the game.
