Chelsea will battle Manchester United and Manchester City for Sao Paulo wonderkid Eder Militao this summer according to a report on The Sun.

Militao’s versatility is believed to be a key factor why Chelsea are desperate for his signature.

The 20-year-old defensive midfielder can also play as a centre-back, as well as a right-back.

Militao scored two goals in 22 games for Sao Paulo in his breakthrough campaign last season and he is regarded as one of Brazil’s brightest prospects.

He is reportedly valued at £20million.
