Estevao Willian Impresses Again Ahead of Chelsea Move
Chelsea teenage starlet Estevao Willian continues to impress at the FIFA Club World Cup, further building up hype among fans for his soon-to-be arrival at Stamford Bridge come later this summer.
The Brazilian winger was elected Player of the Match in the second straight match after another class performance for Palmeiras to seal their much-needed win over Al Ahly. His display not only saw his team emerge victorious but had local media again singing his praises for technical skills and maturity on the pitch.
Although Estevao is still yet to play for Chelsea in the competition, his performances are giving Blues fans an appetizing glimpse of things to come. Once the Club World Cup is out of the way, Enzo Maresca will get the opportunity to train alongside one of Brazil’s greatest young prospects, who will potentially join the likes of Cole Palmer in Chelsea’s evolving young core.
Estevao’s reliability on the international scene is already making headlines—and Chelsea supporters will want to know when he can become part of English football.
Cole Palmer Praises Estevao Willian Ahead of Chelsea Arrival
Cole Palmer has expressed his excitement about linking up with Brazilian starlet Estevao Willian, who is set to join Chelsea this summer.
Despite carrying much of the creative workload last season, Palmer remains optimistic that Estevao’s arrival could help ease that burden. Speaking to Mail Online, the England international said:
“He’s a really good player. I’ve spoken to him a few times. He doesn’t speak much English, so it was a case of Google Translate, but I’ve had a few conversations with him saying I’m looking forward to seeing him and playing with him…”
Estevao has caught the eye with standout performances for Palmeiras at the Club World Cup, and Chelsea plan to integrate the teenager directly into Enzo Maresca’s first-team squad—unlike fellow South American talent Kendry Paez, who is expected to go out on loan.
The future looks bright at Stamford Bridge, with Palmer and Estevao potentially forming a dynamic attacking partnership in the coming season.
Estevao Willian has been trying to learn English, and he has a message for his future club.
