# Chelsea interested in signing Richarlison

Chelsea are reportedly interested in the signature of Watford ace Richarlison, according to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5602117/Manchester-United-join-Chelsea-Everton-race-sign-Richarlison.html).

Richarlison only signed for Watford in the summer but is already being linked with a high-profile move away from the club, with Chelsea one of three Premier League clubs being linked.

The Brazilian starlet got off to a flying start in the Premier League, hitting the back of the net five times in his first 12 appearances.

Despite his goal-scoring form dropping off in recent weeks, [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11686/11325184/watfords-richarlison-monitored-by-manchester-united-chelsea-and-everton) are reporting that Chelsea, Everton and Manchester United are all keeping tabs on the young forward.

Richarlison joined Watford for £11.2million from Brazilian side Fluminense in the summer, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal with the club.

Being just one year into his five-year contract, it is believed that any club wishing to sign the 22-year-old will have to offer around £40million to tempt Watford into selling.
