Next summer, Chelsea will have a new addition to their team in the form of Brazilian wonderkid, Estevao. According to his agent, Chelsea has their sights set on Estevao playing as a No.10, believing it to be the ideal position for the 17-year-old's future. This transfer has been in the works for some time, with Chelsea finalizing a deal with Palmeiras for a hefty sum of £34 million back in June.
However, Estevao will continue playing with Palmeiras for another season before making the move to Stamford Bridge. This is because Chelsea wants him to continue getting regular playing time to aid in his development. Despite his young age, Estevao has already made a name for himself in the world of football, experiencing a meteoric rise since his professional debut for Palmeiras in December. He has even been capped by the Brazilian national team.
Although Estevao has primarily played on the wing at the start of his career, it seems that he will be competing with Cole Palmer for the No.10 spot upon his arrival in west London. His agent, Andre Cury, believes that Estevao can adapt to any style of play and sees Chelsea as a club where he can develop even further in the middle of the field.
In the summer, Chelsea secured a £34 million deal for the young talent, who has only made 36 appearances in first-team football so far. Despite this, Estevao is already being hailed as a rising star in the game, with coaches and teammates alike singing his praises. Even Brazilian superstar Neymar has expressed his admiration for Estevao, calling him a "great talent" and predicting a bright future for him.
Another Brazilian World Cup winner, Branco, went as far as to say that Estevao is the most promising young talent to emerge from Brazil since Neymar. He believes that Brazil has a "spectacular generation" and that Estevao will be a key player for them in the 2026 World Cup. Branco even went on to say that, in his opinion, Estevao is the greatest player to be born in Brazil since Neymar.
With such high praise from notable figures in the football world, it's clear that Estevao has a bright future ahead of him. As he prepares to join Chelsea next summer, fans will eagerly anticipate seeing him play in the No.10 position and continue to impress with his skills and potential.
