Two years after Chelsea sealed his signature, Brazilian wonderkid Estevão finally arrived at Stamford Bridge this summer following the Club World Cup. The teenager has wasted no time making an impression, already showing glimpses of his talent and settling into life in London.
The Blues view him as one of the brightest prospects for the future, and his early displays suggest he could be worth every bit of the wait. SoftFootball understands that Chelsea’s staff and teammates have been buzzing about his confidence and ability, with fans already warming to the youngster’s fearless approach.
The 17-year-old grabbed his first assist in Chelsea’s 5-2 victory over West Ham, linking up brilliantly in attack and showcasing the flair that made Europe’s top clubs chase him before the Blues secured his services.
According to top journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Estevao opened up to the Brazlian press about life in chelsea, Romano posted;
Estevão: Chelsea is amazing, it was a perfect choice! I can say that I love Chelsea, I love London, I don’t think it could be better.
Change of country, away from family, but it’s been amazing. God is blessing, this is the happiest moments of my life, told Globo.
His words shows just how quickly he’s adapted, both on and off the pitch. For a teenager moving across continents, it could have been demoralizing, but Estevão has embraced the challenge with maturity. And the move is already proving to be a big step in his career and possibly for Chelsea’s future ambitions.
The player has also received big backing from his countryman and Chelsea teammate João Pedro, who recently praised him as one of the future football stars liking him to fellow Brazilian and Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior.
That kind of endorsement highlights the growing buzz around Estevão, a player many in Brazil already saw as a generational talent. With his skill, confidence, Chelsea may jus have discovered another jewel ready to shine in blue.
