Ronaldo compares Chelsea player to Lamine Yamal of Barcelona.
Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time, has recently shown his support for Chelsea's young talent, Estevao Willian. In fact, he even compared the 17-year-old to the likes of Barcelona and Spain star, Lamine Yamal.

Chelsea made a significant move by signing Estevao from Palmeiras in June 2024. However, the youngster will officially join the club on his 18th birthday, which falls on July 1, 2025. And according to Ronaldo, this could be just the beginning of a bright future for the rising star in West London.

"He's a very talented young player," Ronaldo shared with Ben Jacobs during an interview. "He reminds me a lot of Lamine Yamal. I believe he will soon become a major star in the world of football. At just 17 years old, he has so much potential."

Yamal, who came through Barcelona's academy, has already made a name for himself at the Catalan club with 13 goals and 20 assists in 70 appearances. He also caught the attention of the football world at Euro 2024, where he was named the Young Player of the Tournament, helping Spain secure the trophy against England in the final. He was also awarded the prestigious Kopa Trophy in 2024, which recognizes the best U21 player in the world.

On the other hand, Estevao has already made 46 appearances for Palmeiras, scoring 15 goals and providing 10 assists. His impressive performances have earned him a few international caps for Brazil this year.

In an exciting turn of events, Estevao revealed that Chelsea's star player, Cole Palmer, has already reached out to him. The two are set to play together at Stamford Bridge, and it seems like they have already formed a bond off the field. "When I signed for Chelsea, the next day I scored a goal and celebrated like Palmer," Estevao shared. "We talked on social media, and he even called me a star. I told him that he's a star too, and we promised to achieve great things together for Chelsea."

With the support and comparisons to some of the best players in the world, Estevao has a lot to live up to. But with his talent and determination, he is sure to make a name for himself at Chelsea and become a future star in the world of football.
