Chelsea are more than excited about the prospect of Estevao Willian joining up with their first team squad at the end of this season.
The youngster has already received his first senior Brazil cap, and has been impressing with his performances every time he takes to the field for Palmeiras.
The Blues are reportedly planning to play Estevao as soon as next season, after they beat the likes of PSG to his signature.
The Brazilian has frequently been seen interacting with the likes of Cole Palmer on social media. Fans are no doubt excited as to what those two are going to create when on the pitch together at Stamford Bridge.
Until then, he will continue to feature in his home league, where he is doing things that have not been seen there since Neymar was playing for Santos.
Estevao breaks Neymar’s goals and assists record
After a 5-3 win where he picked up both a goal and an assist, Estevao broke the former Barcelona and PSG man’s record for most goal contributions in a single season in Brazil’s Serie A.
If there was one thing Chelsea should be perhaps a little wary of when it comes to Estevao, it is the amount of injuries he has already sustained in the early stages of his career.
He seems to be featuring every three or four days at the minute, with there no doubt a hope that he does not play too much to a point where he becomes an injury prone player.
Kendry Paez to join Estevao at Chelsea
The Brazil international is not the only youngster who is set to join the Blues at the end of this season. They will be welcoming Kendry Paez to their ranks too.
The future is no doubt bright at Stamford Bridge at the moment, and it feels like the club’s approach to signing the next big young talent is not going to change in the coming transfer windows.
