…𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐨, confirmed! ✨"

 17-year-old Estevao will not join Chelsea until he turns 18 next year with highly-rated Ecuador international Kendry Paez set to move to Stamford Bridge at the same time.

Why did Chelsea sign Estevao Willian?

Estevao is already making pundits and former players sit up and take notice in his homeland despite only making 22 appearances for Brazilian side Palmeiras.

And Branco reckons Estevao is the “greatest player” he’s seen “born in Brazil” since Neymar with Chelsea set to land one of the best prospects in world football.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had these kids there and Brazil has a spectacular generation,” Branco told Canal WAMO.

“Brazil for 2026 will arrive very strong, they’ll arrive with strength, speed and quality."

How good is Estevao Willian?

Able to play off of either flank, Estevao is at his moth lethal when coming off the right flank and onto his favoured left foot, though he is not incapable of using his right foot should the situation arise.

Like many Brazilian wingers, Estevao is full of flair, loves to run with the ball, take on his man and beat them repeatedly.

Estevao is a danger from free-kick scenarios as well, with his ability to strike the ball with power and placement seeing him score numerous times from dead-ball situations.

He is not selfish either. When he gets into the box he doesn’t shy away from the opportunity to pass to a teammate in a more favourable position, thus highlighting his willingness to help the team instead of going for personal glory.

Far from the finished article, it remains to be seen exactly what sort of player Estevao will develop into, but he has all the raw abilities to become a world-beater in several positions.
