Next summer, the highly sought-after Brazilian talent, Estevao, will be joining the ranks of Chelsea. His agent has revealed that the club sees him as a perfect fit for the No.10 position in the future. Chelsea has been closely monitoring Estevao for a while now and in June, they sealed a deal worth £34 million with his current team, Palmeiras.
Despite the exciting move, Estevao will continue playing for Palmeiras for one more season before making the big step to Stamford Bridge. This decision was made with the youngster's development in mind, as the Blues want him to keep playing regularly and honing his skills. At just 17 years old, Estevao has already made a name for himself since his professional debut with Palmeiras in December last year. He has even been called up to the Brazilian national team, which speaks volumes about his talent and potential.
While he has mostly been playing on the wing in the early stages of his career, it seems that Chelsea has bigger plans for Estevao. He is expected to compete for the No.10 spot with fellow youngster, Cole Palmer, upon his arrival in London. According to his representative, Andre Cury, Estevao has the ability to adapt to any style of play, making him a valuable asset for the club. Playing in the middle, as a No.10, will give him the opportunity to further develop and reach his full potential.
The £34 million deal for Estevao was finalized in the summer, despite the fact that he has only made 36 appearances in first-team football so far. However, his talent has not gone unnoticed, with coaches and teammates alike praising him and predicting a bright future for the young player. Even Brazilian superstar, Neymar, has expressed his admiration for Estevao, calling him a "great talent" and predicting that he will become a "genius" in the near future.
Former Brazilian World Cup winner, Branco, has also heaped praise on Estevao, stating that he is the most promising young talent to emerge in Brazil since Neymar. He believes that the country has a "spectacular generation" and that Estevao will play a crucial role in the national team's success in the upcoming 2026 World Cup. In fact, Branco goes as far as saying that Estevao is the best player to come out of Brazil since Neymar, which is a bold statement coming from a football legend.
As Estevao prepares to make the move to Chelsea next summer, fans and football enthusiasts alike are eagerly waiting to see him in action and witness his potential being fulfilled. With coaches and teammates praising him, and legends like Branco and Neymar backing him, the young Brazilian wonderkid has a lot of pressure on his shoulders. But if his past performances are anything to go by, he is more than capable of living up to the expectations and making a name for himself at the prestigious club of Chelsea.
