Next summer, the highly sought after Brazilian wonderkid, Estevao, will be joining Chelsea, according to his agent. They have expressed that the club sees him as a perfect fit for the No.10 position in the future. Chelsea has been closely monitoring Estevao for some time now and finally sealed a deal with Palmeiras for a whopping £34 million in June.
Despite the hefty price tag, Chelsea has decided to let Estevao continue playing with Palmeiras for another season before moving to Stamford Bridge. This decision was made with the young forward's development in mind, as the Blues want him to gain more experience and regular playing time before making the move.
Estevao has had a rapid rise in his career since his debut with Palmeiras last year. He has even been selected for the Brazilian national team. While he has mostly been playing on the wing, it seems he will also be competing for the No.10 spot with Cole Palmer upon his arrival in London.
According to Estevao's representative, Andre Cury, the young talent can adapt to any style of play. However, Chelsea sees him as a perfect fit for the No.10 position, which is something that is important for Estevao's development. Cury believes that playing in the middle will help him reach his full potential.
The deal for Estevao was finalized at a whopping £34 million in the summer. Despite having only 36 appearances in first-team football, he is already being hailed as a future star in the game. Coaches and teammates have been praising him and predicting a bright future for the 17-year-old.
Fellow Brazilian and international superstar, Neymar, spoke highly of Estevao, calling him a "great talent" in an interview with ESPN. He even went on to say that he believes Estevao will become a "genius" in the future.
Meanwhile, former Brazilian World Cup winner, Branco, has also been singing Estevao's praises. He believes that the young forward is the most promising talent to come out of Brazil since Neymar. Branco even went as far as to say that he is the greatest player he has seen born in Brazil since Neymar.
With such high praise and expectations, it is clear why Chelsea was willing to spend such a large sum for Estevao. Fans and critics alike will be eagerly awaiting his arrival at Stamford Bridge next summer. In the meantime, they can stay updated on all things Chelsea by signing up for their official news, exclusives, and analysis.
