If there is one thing that can be said about Chelsea at this stage, it is certainly that they have set themselves up for a promising future.
It has been a key part of the mantra installed by Todd Boehly since he took over as the owner of the club two years ago that they would invest heavily in some of the top talents in the game early on.
The aim of this is to beat fellow elite sides to deals, which they seem to have been able to achieve on a number of occasions.
The highlight addition until recently had been Kendry Paez, with the 17-year-old already starring for Ecuador’s senior side.
That was until the weekend though, when the club formally announced that they had completed a deal to sign Estevao Willian.
Neymar raves about Estevao Willian
There is already a lot of hype surrounding the youngster, and one of those leading that is one of his heroes. Neymar has already said in a video on ‘Ginga Bonito’s Twitter just how excited he is to see him develop.
He said: “Which talent of this new generation excites me the most? I think Estevão of Palmeiras is big talent that is surging in Brazilian football. I think he will be a genius.”
The youngster has continued to impress for Palmeiras, and will do so until the player officially moves in 2025.
Estevao copies Cole Palmer’s celebration
He scored a stunning goal a few days ago, before dedicating his most recent strike to one of Chelsea’s current stars.
Estevao’s celebration mimicked that of Cole Palmer, who has very much made the shivering act his thing.
The England international responded on Instagram, prompting the Chelsea fanbase to only imagine just how good the two can be playing together in the future.
With a plethora of young talent still to come through, the future certainly looks bright at Stamford Bridge.
