From Brazil: Liverpool, Chelsea and Inter Milan in tussle for 17-year-old

TheEnglish press claim Chelsea and Liverpool have been eyeing Robinho Júnior. However, Inter Milan have taken the lead for the Santos youngster, according to sources close to the Brazilian club.

He was promoted to the first team by manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda. His speed, flair, and technical quality have drawn increasing attention from Europe.
