Arsenal and Chelsea have supposedly made contact with Richarlison’s agent over a potential move.
Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte are reportedly keen on landing the signature of Watford’s Brazilian star Richarlison.
According to The Sun both clubs have made contact with the 20-year-old’s agent over a potential future move to London.
The Brazil under-20 international burst on to the scene at the beginning of the season, notching five goals in his first 12 games. Unfortunately for the former Fluminense player, he was unable to carry on his scoring form and has not found the back of the net since late November.
The youngster has put his lack of scoring down to the fact that teams have supposedly been targeting him as a result of his rampant start.
“Teams are already marking me individually, they are putting two players there on my side,” he said.
“Unfortunately it’s difficult, but I’m doing what I can.”
First seasons are never easy in the Premier League, especially when you set the bar as high as Richarlison did in the opening games of the campaign.
There is no doubt about the youngster’s talent, however, and he has rightfully earned interest from two of the league’s top clubs in Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Gunners could do with more creative spark as they bid to return to the top four, while Chelsea need more fire-power due to an over-reliance on Alvaro Morata and a lack of faith in Michy Batshuayi.
