He will head to Stamford Bridge next summer, and plans are already being drawn up for him to join the first-team squad in 2025/26, per <a href="https://www.givemesport.com/chelsea-transfer-news-decide-where-estevao-willian-will-play-stamford-bridge/" target="_blank">Givemesport</a>. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Estevao Willian is known as 'Messinho' and has already won two caps for Brazil. The teenager has been in remarkable form for Palmeiras, too, as he has scored 11 goals and registered eight assists in 37 games for the club at first-team level. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Estevao Willian's agent secured guarantees in relation to first-team football, per the report, after seeing another client, Vitor Roque, struggle to break into the starting XI at Barcelona. As a result, there is next to no chance of the Blues loaning their big-money signing out. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Chelsea are next in action against West Ham on Saturday in a bitter London derby. Estevao Willian will surely be watching on with interest.</p>
