The thrill and anticipation for the arrival of Estevao Willian at Chelsea continues forward of his transfer being made official in the summertime of 2025. It would quickly be right here now.
Till then although, the Brazilian worldwide remains to be taking part in out his video games in Brazil, and on the weekend he confronted up in opposition to a well-recognized Chelsea cult hero, Thiago Silva.
Estevao was on the dropping facet, happening 1-0 to Silva’s Fluminense. However he did handle to catch a dialog with the previous Blues fan favorite after the sport.
“Thiago Silva simply informed me after our sport that Chelsea is high they usually’re ready for me with open arms,” Estevao revealed in an interview with ESPN Brasil this week.
Who is aware of, sooner or later quickly Silva may nicely be teaching Estevao at Chelsea in some capability, as a result of he desires to return to the membership as a coach when he retires and completes his badges.
Estevao is the following largest factor out of Brazil, and he’s already profitable awards.
This season, he has simply gained the Greatest Younger Participant and Greatest Attacker of the 2024 Brasileirão with Palmeiras!
That’s simply unimaginable for the 17-year-old who already additionally has 4 senior worldwide caps with Brazil to his title.
Within the interview additionally, he reveals that he ideally desires to play within the 10 place, and would like to put on the quantity 41.
“I don’t have a choice, however I actually like 41. If they’ve 41, it is going to be cool too,” he continued.
“I’ve at all times been a quantity ten and I went to the wing to have one-on-ones. In fact I respect Abel’s (Ferreira) resolution, I do know that I’ve loved being on the wing extra, however who is aware of, sooner or later I’ll play the place I really feel extra comfy, which is inside.”
Will probably be fascinating to see the place he suits in to this Chelsea facet in the summertime and what place he performs. The plan is he’ll be a part of the primary staff squad right away. We’re fairly packed in these attacking areas for the time being. We will see how that each one unfolds in one other nice ‘downside’ for Enzo Maresca to have.
Estevao speaks to Reece James and Cole Palmer already, which is very nice to listen to.
“Cole Palmer talks to me on Instagram and in addition Reece James stated if I want something let him know.”
I like to listen to that from James. He’s a really quiet soul, however I wish to know that he’s doing his captain duties by reaching out to new signings like this. That’s nice.
There is no such thing as a doubt that Estevao goes to be a future star, I believe each single particular person throughout the trade totally believes that. Bayern Munich tried to hijack the signing late on however he caught along with his Chelsea plan. And we’re vastly fortunate to be welcoming him to the membership in the summertime.
