Chelsea and Brighton have now entered the picture for Vasco da Gama forward Rayan, adding fresh competition for Tottenham in the chase for the teenager.
The claims come from BolaVip. They report the two Premier League clubs are closely following the 18-year-old’s progress in Brazil.
Both sides are said to be monitoring his development after an impressive 2025 campaign. This has seen him establish himself as a starter under Fernando Diniz and further boost his reputation as one of Vasco’s top prospects.
The new interest means Tottenham are no longer alone in the Premier League when it comes to pursuing the striker.
Spurs already sent representatives to Brazil to watch him. They’ve even checked with the Brazilian FA about his chances of a senior national team call-up. That’s a key factor in securing a work permit in England. Now Chelsea and Brighton’s names strengthen the level of competition around him.
With Zenit Saint Petersburg already making a bid and Barcelona previously scouting him as well, the Premier League emergence only intensifies the battle for a player who seems destined for Europe sooner rather than later.
