Chelsea scout Piet de Visser has admitted that the Londoners were interested in signing Brazilian international Antony long before he sealed his recent move to Manchester United.

He joined United in an £85.1million deal. United manager Erik ten Hag had worked closely with Antony at Ajax following the latter's arrival at the Johan Cruyff Arena in 2020.
The winger developed at a rapid rate of knots under the Dutchman and, eventually, was determined to be reunited with him at Old Trafford towards the end of the transfer window.
