Chelsea’s Estevao Willian has been in the headlines for all the right reasons across the past week.
First of all, Estevao scored the winner against Liverpool last Saturday as Chelsea picked up a dramatic 2-1 win in the Premier League.
The 18-year-old star has carried the momentum into the international break, too.
Estevao scored twice for Brazil in their emphatic 5-0 victory over South Korea on Friday. Afterwards, Brazilian media hailed the Chelsea youngster as his stock continues to rise.
Trevoh Chalobah uses one word to describe Estevao Willian
On The Residency app, Blues defender Trevoh Chalobah, 26, was asked about teammate Estevao.
He delivered a one-word response: “Baller.”
Estevao has been the Premier League’s best youngster in the opening months of the 2025-26 season, and it feels like he’s just getting started.
The South American rising star, who’s so dangerous cutting infield from the right wing on his stronger left foot, looks mature beyond his years on the football pitch. We suspect it won’t be long before he nails down a permanent spot in both the Chelsea and Brazil starting line-up.
Estevao Willian has no significant weaknesses
According to WhoScored, Chelsea talent Estevao has no significant weaknesses in his game.
Of course, the Brazilian sensation still has so much to improve, and we doubt he’s allowing the hype to get to his head.
In nine Chelsea appearances, he’s scored one goal and one assist. His next aim after the international break is to complete 90 minutes for the first time this season.
