Young Brazilian footballing sensation, Estevao Willian breaks a unique record of Neymar Junior

Talented Brazilian youngster, Estevao Willian is making waves in Brazilian football and breaking a significant record previously held by Neymar. At just 17 years old, he has achieved the highest number of goal and assist contributions by an under-17 player in the Brazilian Serie A, as highlighted by respected journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues were excited to announce that they have secured a deal for Estevao to join their team next summer. His remarkable accomplishments at such a young age have not only underscored his exceptional ability but also indicated that Chelsea has invested in a player with substantial potential for the future.

Update from Fabrizio Romano 

Fabrizio Romano recently reported on X that Estevao had a remarkable season with Palmeiras in the Brasileirão, achieving 18 goal involvements. Anticipation is high for his arrival at Stamford Bridge in July, where he has the potential to be a significant player in Chelsea’s attacking strategy.

"Future Chelsea gem Estêvão Willian breaks Neymar's record for the U-17 with the most G/A in a single edition of the Brasileirão! Estêvão has completed 18 G/A for Palmeiras in Brasileirão this season... waiting to join #CFC in July," Romano tweeted.

Estevao not only eclipsed Neymar's record but has also inspired comparisons to Lionel Messi. This generated considerable excitement among Chelsea supporters, who are looking forward to witnessing the Brazilian talent in action in the Premier League next season.

Estevao’s impressive performances in his home country highlight the role Palmeiras has played in his development. However, it seems he is ready to take the next step, potentially moving beyond Brazilian football. At Chelsea, there's a wealth of attacking talent including Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho, and Mykhailo Mudryk, the challenge will be to seamlessly integrate Estevao into this dynamic first-team setup. This could provide him with an exciting opportunity to grow further in a competitive environment.
