Enzo Maresca has heaped praise on Estevao Willian following Chelsea’s 3-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

It was Estevao’s ball into the box that eventually found its way to Joao Pedro, who scored Chelsea’s second goal of the night.

Pedro Neto and Malo Gusto also netted for the Blues to help send them to second place in the Premier League table.

Before the game, Gary O’Neil discussed Estevao, with the former Wolves manager believing that Neto is the only reason why the 18-year-old is not starting more matches for Chelsea right now.

Enzo Maresca thinks Estevao Willian is worth more than £100m

Unsurprisingly, Estevao was a talking point for Maresca after the full-time whistle as he put in another impressive display.

Estevao is currently valued at £104m by the CIES Football Observatory, and it is a value that his manager completely agrees with.

Speaking after Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over Wolves at Stamford Bridge, Maresca said: “You can see that, absolutely. He is top. For this club in the next five, ten years, he will be a top, top, top player.”

The Club World Cup winners only signed Estevao from Palmeiras for an initial £29m fee, so the winger already looks like a bargain.

Clauses will increase the final price for Estevao, but he is going to be worth every penny and then some at this rate.

Why Estevao Willian is already a £100m footballer

Estevao is only 18 and has not been playing at the elite level for long, yet it is still not crazy to suggest that the Brazilian is worth £100m.

His ceiling is incredibly high, he is already performing in both the Premier League and Champions League and the market has seen midfielders move for more than £100m.

For as good as the likes of Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Declan Rice are, being an extremely talented and gifted attacker, Estevao is going to win more games for his club than the trio in the future.

At that point, you could be looking at one of the best forward players in the world. Therefore, if Chelsea’s owners decided to sell Estevao tomorrow, they would be well within their rights to ask for a £100m transfer fee.
