Chelsea legend Gus Poyet believes Neymar would be a great addition to the Premier League
Chelsea legend Gus Poyet has claimed that if the Blues are successful in their pursuit of Brazilian wonderkid Neymar, it would be a huge boon to the entire Premier League.
Neymar had a great time during his first outing in Europe, scoring both goals in Brazil’s international friendly win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756 over the weekend. The Brazilian seems to be warming up to idea of playing at the highest level of English football, recently
claiming that it would be a dream come true if he were to join Premier League giants Chelsea.
The Blues had already tried to sign the striker in 2010, but Neymar turned down the offer in order to extend his time with Brazilian club Santos. Now though, he has hinted that he is ready to join the big boys of the Premier League, claiming that if Chelsea
were to approach him with an offer, he would be almost certain to accept.
Neymar said, “Last year, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 came (with an offer), we sat together and we thought it wasn't the time yet. If it happens this year, we are going to sit again and going to discuss about it.”
The Santos hitman is widely considered to be the next big thing for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pele-c40189 is reported to be a huge fan of the player, even going so far as trying to include him in Brazil’s squad for the World Cup.
Former Chelsea man Gus Poyet believes that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 is one of the most talented players in the world today, claiming that the striker is in ‘a different class.’
Poyet said, “Neymar is different class, which makes a difference. When you play against a team like Manchester United it’s tight, it’s close, it’s nil-nil, there’s nothing in the game. Someone like Neymar comes in with something unique, he opens up the game
and scores the winning goal. That makes a big difference.”
He added that it would be great if Neymar moved to Premier League not only for the Chelsea fans but also for the whole of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
Chelsea are currently in third place in the Premier League standings, 9 points behind leaders Manchester United. Crucially though, the Blues have a game in hand over United.
