The future is certainly looking bright at Chelsea after chiefs at the club worked tirelessly to help secure some of the next big talents in the game.

For every signing made by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali that is designed to strengthen the first team, it seems one has been made with the future of the club in mind.

Kendry Paez is set to join up with the first team at the end of this season having already established himself as a first team regular for the Ecuador squad alongside Moises Caicedo.

However, there is even more excitement about the addition of Estevao Willian, who has enjoyed a sensational season in Brazil with Palmeiras.

Abel Ferreira called an ‘idiot’ for subbing off Estevao Willian

Last night was not one of their finest evenings though, as they were defeated 3-1 by Botafogo in a top of the table clash.

Manager Abel Ferreira, who was dealing with his side being down to ten men, decided to replace Estevao in the second half despite him being one of their more impactful players.

This decision did not go down well with supporters in the stadium. Ge Globo have claimed some in attendance brandished the manager as an ‘idiot’ after making that call.

The statistics behind Estevao’s record-breaking season

Estevao has this season broken Neymar’s record for most goal contributions in the Brazilian league, despite him being just a teenager.

The former Barcelona and PSG star has tipped his countryman for big things in his career, and it seems as if the national team are in agreement.

Estevao has already made his Brazil debut, and supporters were calling for him to come off the bench earlier during the last international break.

Chelsea believe they have ‘hit the jackpot’ with the signing of Estevao, and he is currently set to be competing for first team minutes as soon as next season.
