With many thinking Estevao Willian is set to be the future of Chelsea when he joins at the end of the season, eyes will be on his last few performances for Palmeiras over in Brazil.

Estevao is already not a fan of the media hype surrounding him, however the fact that he is clearly an immense talent shows why there is so much excitement around him.

Fresh off breaking Neymar’s goal contributions record for a season in Brazil, the youngster is back in action as he looks to get himself up to speed for Premier League football in August.

According to GE Globo, his side were booed off after the stalemate.

The report went on to say that the side have become reliant over the past 12 months on Estevao, although last night he was unable to unlock the door.

Chelsea’s plan for Estevao

Chelsea feel as if they have hit the jackpot with the signing of Estevao, and there are currently no plans to send him loan for the 2025/26 campaign.

Estevao has already shown he has upped his physicality levels over the break, something that will be crucial if he is to play frequently in the Premier League.

The winger has been in contact with club legend Thiago Silva, who has explained to him just how excited the Blues are to have him join them.

It remains to be seen what his arrival means for the current wingers at Stamford Bridge, with them already having Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho, and Noni Madueke in their ranks, as well as Tyrique George.
