Chelsea are leading the race to sign Fluminense striker Richarlison, according to reports.
The Daily Mail claims that the 20-year-old had agreed a five-year contract with Ajax but Antonio Conte’s side have now made their move for the forward.
The Brazil Under-20 international is valued at £12 million and has also been linked with Manchester United and Inter.
But reports in Italy also claim that Richarlison is closer to a move to the Premier League.
Richarlison, who is also capable of playing as a wide attacker, has scored seven goals in 16 appearances for Fluminense this season.
Antonio Conte is keen to reinforce his attacking options even further af
