Neymar has admitted it would be a dream come true if he joins Chelsea.

The Santos striker, who scored both Brazil's goals in the friendly win over Scotland at the Emirates, told Sky Sports News: "Chelsea's a great club. It's a dream of every player to play at Chelsea.

"If one day it happens, I will be very happy to come."

Chelsea already have a trio of Brazilians in their squad in David Luiz, Ramires and Alex and although Neymar insists he is happy at Santos he is clearly ready to consider a move to Stamford Bridge.

"When the moment comes we are going to sit with my family. We are going to think about it and discuss the options," he said.

"Last year, when Chelsea came, we sat together and we thought it wasn't the time yet.

"If it happens this year, we are going to sit again and going to discuss about it."

Luiz, who has flourished since joining Chelsea from Benfica in January, said after Brazil's win over Scotland on Sunday: "I am very happy because I'm at one of the best teams in the world.

"I would love it if Neymar came to Chelsea. He is going to be one of the best players in the world."
