Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Estevao has made a significant impact, scoring five goals across all competitions, including three in the Champions League. His dynamic play and creativity have excited fans, making him a vital asset to the team.
Recovery and Performance
After missing matches against Cardiff and Newcastle due to injury, Estevao returned to the lineup for a recent match against Bournemouth. His performance during that game showcased his talent and potential, reaffirming his place in the squad.

Neto noted Estevao’s maturity and openness to feedback, a trait that stands out among younger players. “When he came, we saw he was special,” Neto remarked.
