Chelsea are facing surprise competition this summer from Crystal Palace for Brazilian wonderkid Matheus Franca.
The 19-year-old is a key target for Chelsea's youth-driven summer recruitment plan.
However, Globo in Brazil state that Palace are another team that is eyeing Franca.
They are willing to pay the 22 million fee that his club Flamengo are requesting for a sale.
While Chelsea are the bigger team, Franca may be worried about competition for places.
The teenager may find a move to Palace makes more sense, as it would allow him to find his groove in the Premier League in a less pressurized environment.
