Chelsea could bolster their squad next season by signing promising youngster Estevao Willian.

The 17-year-old has attracted interest from the Blues after a wonderful breakout season with Brazilian club Palmeiras.

Estevao, who comes from the same crop as Real Madrid superstar Endrick, is on Chelsea’s radar as the club is keen on developing young talent for the future.

However, Mauricio Pochettino’s side could be forced to spend big to acquire the youngster, who has earned the nickname ‘Messinho’ in his native Brazil.

According to Team Talk, Chelsea and Palmeiras are in talks over a deal worth £26 million. The fee could, however, rise to £50 million through add-ons.

Estevao has reportedly made it clear he is interested in making a Premier League switch.

The teenager was previously monitored by other teams including Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich, but no official bids were made.

If Chelsea land him for £50 million, it would be one of the biggest transfers in Brazilian football.

Estevao’s style of play

Highlights of Estevao playing for his current club, Palmeiras, have since hit the internet, and it is easy to see why Chelsea is interested in him.

He combines flair, skill, and decent finishing, making him a strong contender to integrate seamlessly into Mauricio Pochettino’s team.

Despite his nickname ‘Messinho’, Estevao’s style is similar to Neymar’s. Another key attribute is his ability to strike the ball with both feet.
