Report: Arsenal, Chelsea chasing Watford star Richarlison

Richarlison on Arsenal, Chelsea radar?

Watford forward Richarlison has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal and Chelsea.

The 20-year-old has scored five goals and registered six assists in the Premier League since moving to Vicarage Road in an £11.2m deal from Fluminense last summer.

Although Richarlison has since experienced a downturn in form, a number of clubs are still thought to be keen on the Brazilian, expecting him to acclimatise better to English football in the coming months.

According to The Sun, Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte are looking to add the highly-rated youngster to their ranks and have approached the player's agent over a future transfer.

Richarlison is contracted to Watford until 2022.
