Chelsea will have a tough task of luring Santos striker Neymar to England after his Brazilian team-mate Dani Alves urged him to join Barcelona.
The 20-year-old Brazil striker has been a long-term target of the Blues who were close to signing him last summer.
But the Brazil playmaker may move to Spain instead of the Premier League after Barcelona right back Alves said he would be a success at the Nou Camp.
"Obviously anybody would want to play for Barcelona," Alves said.
"If Barcelona are interested in Neymar and if next month, next year or in two years he comes, I don't know.
"I hope he does come here because, as I've already said, he would get better as a player and he would also improve the team."
However, Chelsea also have Brazilian stars such as Oscar who could sway Neymar to join Stamford Bridge.
