Chelsea signing Estevao Willian may know what to expect when he plays in the Premier League for the first time next season.

Estevao is still only 17 and has not played outside of Brazil yet. However, that will change when he officially joins Chelsea this summer.

Ahead of his move to Stamford Bridge, the winger has already spoken to two of his international teammates about what life in England is like.

Brazil fans were disappointed not to see Estevao in their nation’s recent loss to Argentina, showing how highly rated he already is in the game.

Estevao Willian speaking to Savinho and Murillo

Estevao could be a key player for Chelsea next season if Noni Madueke departs, with the 23-year-old currently being linked to other clubs.

It could see the Brazilian start in games against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest, where compatriots Savinho and Murillo currently play.

Both men have been giving the Palmeiras youngster advice ahead of his move to Chelsea this summer.

Speaking to ESPN, Estevao said: “They come and talk to me, give me tips. Murillo, Savinho… I ask them how this is, how that is. These things are important for getting there to have less difficulty in adapting.”

Another Brazilian who could be playing in the Premier League next season is another Chelsea star, Andrey Santos, who is currently on loan at Strasbourg.

Santos recently spoke about Estevao, describing him as a “top-quality player”. The two could now get the chance to start together at Chelsea.

Chelsea were interested in Murillo

If Chelsea had their way in January, Estevao would have actually been lining up alongside Murillo in the 2025/26 campaign.

It has been claimed that Chelsea wanted to sign Murillo during the winter transfer window and were ready to offer big money for the central defender.

Murillo has been one of Forest’s best performers this term and is helping them in their bid to qualify for the Champions League.

Currently, Murillo’s side are above Chelsea in the Premier League table, with the two teams facing each other on the last day of the season.

It is not something anyone would have seen coming at the start of the campaign, so Murillo and Forest as a whole obviously deserve a lot of credit.
