According to Estevao's agent, the highly touted Brazilian youngster will be making the move to Chelsea next summer. It seems that the Blues have their sights set on the No.10 position for the 17-year-old in the future. This news comes after Chelsea had been closely following Estevao for some time and eventually finalized a deal with Palmeiras for a hefty sum of £34million back in June.
While the young talent will remain with Palmeiras for another season, the plan is for him to join the ranks at Stamford Bridge the following summer. The Blues are eager for Estevao to continue playing regular football in order to aid in his development. It's no surprise that the teenager has already made a name for himself, experiencing a rapid rise since his professional debut with Palmeiras last December and even earning a call-up to the Brazilian national team.
Although Estevao has mainly played as a winger so far in his career, it seems that he could potentially be competing with Cole Palmer for the coveted No.10 spot upon his arrival in west London. His representative, Andre Cury, expressed confidence in Estevao's ability to adapt to any style of play, stating that Chelsea sees him as a natural fit for the No.10 role.
The Blues' acquisition of the young Brazilian was a big move, with a price tag of £34million for a player who has only made 36 first-team appearances. However, Estevao's potential has not gone unnoticed, with coaches and teammates alike singing his praises and predicting a bright future for the talented teen. In fact, even Neymar himself has spoken highly of Estevao, calling him a "great talent" and predicting that he will become a "genius" in the game.
But it's not just Neymar who sees promise in Estevao. Brazilian World Cup winner Branco believes that the young forward is the most promising talent to emerge from Brazil since Neymar. He even went as far as to say that Estevao is the best player he has seen born in Brazil since Neymar, a statement that carries a lot of weight coming from a former professional player.
With the potential to reach even greater heights, Estevao is certainly a highly anticipated addition to the Chelsea squad. Fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on his progress as he continues to develop and hone his skills. And with the backing of his team and the support of his teammates, it's clear that Estevao has a bright future ahead of him at Chelsea.
