BRAND NEW Chelsea signing ‘will be worth it – fans told

Gilberto Silva believes Estevao Willian will be worth the money Chelsea paid to sign the Brazilian teenager.

After months and months and months of speculation and rumours – we finally agreed to bring the exciting Brazilian to Stamford Bridge in a deal that will eventually cost the club a massive £51 million.

Speaking as part of Bet365’s Copa America coverage, Silva shared his sadness that the forward will be playing in west London rather than for Arsenal: ‘Estevao Willian is worth the money. We have seen how much clubs have spent to acquire players in the Premier League and although Estevao is young, he has been playing for the Brazil youth teams and what he is doing at his age is very unique, it’s special.

If you look at the level of the young Brazilian players that have gone to Europe in recent years, the level of their game has made other players even more expensive. What’s more important than the price is how well they can adapt, which is difficult when you move to the Premier League.

‘Having said that, everything I’ve seen about him says that he will be able to adapt and show a lot for Chelsea, I’m just sad that it won’t be at Arsenal.

Silva, however, has some concerns about the perceived instability at Chelsea and how it could impact his countryman:

‘The lack of stability at CHELSEA could make things tricky for Estevao Willian, I just hope that for his sake they can find stability because for players it’s so important to have that. I was honestly expecting Mauricio Pochettino to stay for another season, I was surprised.

‘But they know what they’re doing. I just hope the changes don’t impact the players.
