    Brazil coach Mano Menezes believes rising teenage star Neymar would benefit from playing in the Premier League.

    The 19-year-old stole the show when he netted both goals in Brazil’s 2-0 friendly win against Scotland.

    Neymar, who currently plays for Santos, has been linked with a move to Chelsea in recent months and his national coach reckons moving to England would help his fledgling career.

    Stronger

    Menezes said: “I think that could only be good for Neymar as it would be confirmation of his development.

    “English football would make him stronger and help to escape strong marking.

    “I don’t see any problem.

    “But Brazil fans will be deprived of watching a good player.”
