Neymar goal and Ronaldinho hat-trick in Santos 4 Flamengo 5

Last updated : 28 July 2011 By Daily Mail

But those of you wondering why the west London club won't let up in their pursuit of the ?40million rated star, just check out his goal that put Santos 3-0 up against Flamengo on Wednesday.

The striker, who is also being chased by Real Madrid and Barcelona, showed outrageous skill by using close control and a burst of pace to leave a centre-back rooted, before squeezing a strike past the on-rushing keeper.

Neymar doubled his tally later by showing physical strength to shrug off a challenge before calmly clipping past the keeper. He also produced an assist through an overhead kick earlier in the match.

Messrs Torres, Drogba and Anelka have cause to be concerned over their future roles if Chelsea land him, but the young apprentice was outdone by the master.

In an extraordinary game, Flamengo hit back to win 5-4 with Ronaldinho scoring a hat-trick to prove the former Barcelona and AC Milan forward has still got it after all.

The pick of the bunch was a low free-kick from 19 yards which completely fooled the defensive wall and left the keeper anchored as the ball whistled into the bottom corner - unlike Japan/Korea 2002, this was no fluke.

Chelsea have had numerous bids for Neymar rejected over the last year and suffered a further set-back this month, after the striker's agent claimed it was a straight fight between Madrid and Barca to secure his signature.
