Flamengo's highly-rated midfielder Matheus Franca is being linked with two Premier League clubs.

Both Crystal Palace and Chelsea are chasing the 19-year-old Brazilian talent.

Per The Mail, the two London clubs are hoping to convince Flamengo to sell for a reasonable fee.

The Brazilian club are seeking at least 22 million if they are to part with their talented midfielder.

While a move to Chelsea would appeal, Franca would recognise that establishing himself in the club's first team would be difficult.

A move to Palace may be more sensible, as he would be a regular starter this coming season.
