Pedro Neto has recently commended Estevao Willian, a promising talent from Chelsea, highlighting his positive attitude and eagerness to learn. Estevao, an 18-year-old winger, joined Chelsea from Palmeiras in a deal valued at £51.4 million, finalizing the transfer in summer 2024.
Impressive Start at Chelsea
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. He appreciates Estevao’s willingness to learn and his enthusiasm for the game, stating, “You can see that he’s a kid that just wants to play football.”

While Estevao continues to impress, Chelsea is also set to welcome another young winger, Geovany Quenda, in the upcoming summer transfer window. Chelsea secured a deal for Quenda last year, and he is expected to join the squad once the current season concludes.
