There was a great atmosphere among the Chelsea players and manager Maresca on Sunday. Of course, the supporters cheered wildly after beating city rivals Tottenham away from home, but the reaction from the Blues down on the pitch was like a redemptive primal scream: Now no one can beat us! After seasons of humiliation and absent team play, Chelsea are finally part of the Premier League title race. A Brazilian, 8,800 km away from Stamford Bridge, could also celebrate performances that will benefit Chelsea next summer.
In the summer of 2025, a Brazilian teenager will be sent to Stamford Bridge. Willian Estevao has a contract with Chelsea, but will not turn 18 until April and will have to wait to pack his bags. Meanwhile, the 17-year-old has shown his potential in Brazil. The extreme potential.

Estevao scored 13 goals in 31 league games for Palmeiras, and has now been named the league’s Best Young Player and Best Attacker of the 2024 Brasileirão. The Brazilian senior national team has already opened the door to the teenager, here Estevao stands with four games.
Chelsea are looking forward to £56 million for the teenager, but right now this looks set to be the best signing of 2025.
