Estevao Willian is on the rise and in impressive form. Chelsea have made a great job by signing him for the future. The 17-year-old is shining in Brazil. He joined Palmeiras as a youth player in 2021. The winger did not enjoy much playing time in 2023. As per wikipedia, he would only make 1 appearance. But he has 36 appearances to his name this season. At the same time, he has managed to find the back of the net 11 times this campaign. He has also won 2 national caps with Brazil. Even then, he is continuing to impress with his top-drawer performances.
Estevao Willian shatters Neymar’s record
The 17-year-old would score in the latest game for Palmeiras. He would score the opener against Juventude. At the same time, he would also provide an assist. His contributions were vital as Palmeiras ended up picking a 5-3 win. Estevao Willian now has 17 G/A in Brasileirão this season. While doing so, he also managed to break Neymar’s record. The former Barcelona player had 16G/A in Brasileirão 2009. Now, the Brazilian wonderkid is the 17-year-old with the best numbers.
Chelsea sensation in the making?
Chelsea have done a great job procuring a player of such caliber. The Blues managed to sign him for €34 million transfer fee. They are focused on signing young and top-quality players. As a result, fans are already keen to see Estevao Willian play for the Blues. Chelsea scouts are doing a great job in recent time. We also saw them coming close to sign Samu Omorodion. No one believed in him then. But look at him now. He is currently shining and rising for Porto. Chelsea could go on to have a really promising squad if their scouting system keeps finding such talented individuals. It will be interesting to see how the Brazilian fits into the lineup.
