Incoming Chelsea signing is a star – Blues fans should get excited about £52M addition

Reports in Brazil have labelled incoming CHELSEA signing Estevao Willian a star after he managed to keep Palmeiras in the running for a League title against rivals Cruzeiro in a 2-1 win.

He is already a full Brazilian International and many are hoping that this move to Stamford Bridge does not hold his development back, his 13th goal in the league along with nine assists and is the third player in the Brasileirao to have scored the most goals. He also has a total of 22 goal involvements

Abel Ferreira’s side came back to defeat Cruzeiro 2-1 on the road and Estevao once again had a key role in the match. His sensational free-kick in the 89th minute kept Palmeiras in the Brasileirao title race ahead of the final game, which takes place on Sunday

Mix Vale wrote: “At only 17 years old, Estevao continues to accumulate expressive numbers in the Brasileirao 2024 and, more than that, is approaching marks that few have achieved at his age. The young Palmeiras revelation is the highlight of the team, marking a constant presence with goals and assists, accumulating 19 goal involvements so far this season, almost doubling the mark reached by former teammate Endrick, who’s at Real Madrid today.

“Estevao has already surpassed a feat of Neymar by accumulating more goals and assists in the same season at only 17-years-old, surpassing the numbers that the star reached at 16. The comparison between Estevao and Neymar – although at the beginning of his career – highlights the potential of the young Palmeiras striker who continues to thrive on the field.

“With a style of play characterised by speed and precise finishing, Estevao emerges as one of the greatest promises of Brazilian football.

‘The teenager repeated Neymar’s iconic celebration during the match against Juventude, in the 30th round of the Brasileirao, showing that he carries the influence and inspiration of one of the greatest recent talents in Brazil.”
