20-year-old Fluminense forward Richarlison was expected to join Dutch giants Ajax and had reportedly agreed a five-year contract with last season's Europa League finalists.
However, with the deal still yet to be completed, Antonio Conte's side are believed to be weighing up a move for the highly-rated attacker.
The Brazilian can play anywhere across the front line and 'The Daily Mail' reports that he has also been in talks with Serie A sides Inter Milan and Sampdoria.
The player's agent, Renato Velasco, last week rubbished rumours of a move to AC Milan, saying: "Yes, there is interest from a few clubs in your country (Italy)."
"Inter and Sampdoria, yes, but not the Rossoneri, at least not right now."
"The truth is that he is ready to play for any club, big or small and there is a lot of speculation around him."
"He is talking about Italy, but also England and Holland."
Could Richarlison become the latest Brazilian to make the move to the Premier League?
