The 18-year-old Santos striker has been strongly linked with a £24million summer switch to Stamford Bridge. Santos are unhappy with what they believe is an illegal approach from the Blues for Neymar and are considering making a complaint to Fifa. Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has denied there has been any wrong doing from the double winners as they look to bolster their squad. Neymar is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in South American football and Pele believes he would be making a mistake by switching to the Premier League at this stage of his career. The three-time World Cup winner said: "He is not prepared to play in England."
