Chelsea have reportedly found their Cole Palmer replacement, in the form of Brazilian teen sensation, Estevao Willian. The Blues’ board have promised Estevao about deploying him as a no.10 in the future games. As a result, “Cold” Palmer might need to give the teenager his preferred spot because of this decision.
Chelsea have spent over £1billion on raw talents, since taking over from Roman Abrahamovic. This bet however, has failed by a huge margin as most of the signings have “flopped.”
The former Man City star is the only unproven talent, who took his game to another level since arriving at Stamford Bridge. In his debut season for the London club, he netted 27 times and provided 15 assists across all competitions.
Estevao Willian is yet another raw talent. His camp has urged the club to play him as a no.10, so that his confidence doesn’t go down. The teenager’s representatives spoke to Brazilian media outlet UOL about this issue. They say;
“He can adapt to any style of play. Chelsea is a club that sees Estevao playing as a number ten, for us that is important. He can develop even more playing in the middle.”
However, Palmer had revealed last season that he can adapt to any position according to the team’s needs. He says;
“I played left-back when I was Under-10. Then I played midfield. Then later right wing, left wing, and striker. I made my first start at City as a striker.”
“I played 10 most of the time in the academy, and in the past three years I’ve mainly played on the right wing. But I’m ready to help the team wherever I’m needed.”
Chelsea have their very own next “Messi”
Chelsea scouts have kept an eye on Estevao Willian for a long time. The fans and coaches say he resembles the great man himself, none other than Leo Messi himself, in many ways. The Blues signed him as a part of their long term plan.
Estevao is a mobile attacker, who roams all around the pitch using his acute vision to find spaces. His thrives on the no 10 role where he loves to take on the defenders and dribble past them.
The young lad completed a mega money move to Stamford bridge for £56m. However due to him being below the age of 18, he won’t be approved of his VISA as per Brexit rules. He will definitely have more minutes under his belt from the next season.
The teenage sensation, made his debut for the Selecao, in their 1-0 win over Ecuador on Friday. He impressed the coach in the limited time he got. The 17-year-old has showcased his talents at the youth level for Palmeiras and impressed many football stars. The “prince who never was” Neymar praised the player saying;
“He is a great talent that is emerging in Brazilian football today, I think he’s going to be a genius.”
