Chelsea are pulling out all the stops as they try to sign Brazilian wonderkid Endrick.

The Blues are desperate to bring in the 16-year-old striker but face fierce competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

According to The Evening Standard, there is unprecedented interest in the teenager, who has had meetings in London in recent weeks.

He has become a star in Brazil after scoring 165 goals in 169 games for Palmeiras’ youth teams and has three goals in five senior appearances.

When he came off the bench in the 4-0 win over Coritiba last month, he became the club’s youngest ever player at 16 years, two months and 16 days.

The report suggests Real are at the front of the queue and the Blues’ main hope is their financial capability.

Endrick’s father is working alongside agents linked to Brazil and Real forward Vinicius Junior to secure his son's next club.

Endrick is expected to make a decision on his future in early 2023 ahead of a transfer in 2024, after he turns 18.
