The 18-year-old came close to joining the Blues in a £25million deal in August, but the youngster was persuaded to stay at Santos and sign a new long-term deal with the club.
“A player with a winning mentality like I have has to play in the best places like Chelsea,” Neymar told The Sun.
“Santos is my club. I love it. But it is not at as high a level as the English Premier League.
“I want to go where I can become a world-class player. I have ambitions to be the best player in the world.
“But more than that, I want to play in the top tournaments and if I do well and I deserve to be voted the best, then that will be fantastic.
“I watch Premier League football all the time, whenever I get the chance, and I enjoy the speed of the game and that it is so straight-forward and direct. That is something which really appeals to me.
“Chelsea have some fantastic players like Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and I would love to play with them.
“I don’t know where I would fit in because that would be up to the coach. But I can play however they want me to. I’m confident in any position.”
He added: “I’m preparing to move. I will be in a better state of mind and ready for it next time.
“There are already Brazilian players at Chelsea, Alex and Ramires. I know of Alex because he used to be at Santos although it was a while ago.
“And I played with Ramires for the national team, but I haven’t had a chance to talk with him about Chelsea yet. I’m sure we will though.”
