Brazilian midfielder, Alex Teixeira has admitted that Chelsea are interested in signing the player, according to the Standard.
The Brazilian currently applies his trade in Ukraine for Willian’s former side, Shakhtar Donetsk and has impressed during the Champions League. His impressive performances have linked him with a move away from Shakhtar, with Chelsea reportedly interested.
Teixeira has admitted that he is aware of interest from the Premier League champions, not only is he aware of it, he is also keen on making the move to London too.
The twenty-five-year-old has been at Shakhtar since 2009 but said this when questioned about a move to the Premier League:
It’s all rumours so far. I’m glad to hear a club as big as Chelsea is interested on me.
The midfielder has made a total of 215 appearances for Shakhtar, scoring an impressive 80 goals along the way. He went on to say:
It would be important to play a tournament such as the Premier League, and better yet if it came in January. I’m welcoming a new challenge.
Should he decide to leave, he would not be the first Brazilian to do so, with Douglas Costa, Willian, Fernandinho and Luiz Adriano all leaving to test themselves in some of Europe’s biggest leagues
