Brazil international Neymar will eventually join Chelsea despite committing his future to Santos, according to his new international agent.

The talented 18-year-old is regarded as one of the world's brightest talents and had been wanted by the West London club this summer.

He resisted the lure of joining the Premier League club just yet and signed a fresh five-year deal with the Brazilian outfit.

However, agent Pini Zahavi has acknowledged that he will need to join a big club at some point in his career.

Career

Zahavi believes that he will eventually join Chelsea further down the line after helping Santos win the Copa Libertadores.

"Neymar will stay with Santos but I'm sure he will become a Chelsea player eventually," explained Zahavi in The Sun.

"He loves Santos and wants to win the Copa Libertadores.

"But Neymar also knows that for his career he needs to move to a big club."
