Estêvão

I wonder if we have any say on his development now whilst he is still at Palmeiras? 

Should play half of his matches at LW/LF.

I thought it was mandatory that every signing first had to play LB.  Unless you are a qualified LB, then you get to play LW. 

 
🇧🇷 Branco, former World Cup winner & now official youth co-ordinator of Brazilian football: “Estevao, for me, with all due respect to the others -

This is something serious, that I’ve never said & I’m going to say -

Since Neymar, he is the best Brazilian born player I’ve seen!” pic.twitter.com/bHXDCQRUvW

I think most fans are in for a treat in the 2025 season with him & Paez. He has stepped it up since Endrick left for Madrid, 1 goal and 2 assists in the last 2 games.

 
Of course the standard of defending will no doubt be the same when he gets here.


Broja could look decent against these types of defences.

Haha - that defending reminds me of the old NES 8-bit football games when you'd change controlled player.  I mean they just stopped.  What if all this bad defending is an export conspiracy in South America!!

There was a podcast on London is Blue regarding Estevao.  So much optimism about his ability from the analysts and from the youth team coach.  They know he needs to bulk up, and made some good comparisons on the benefit Kendry has had from 12 months of first team football.

It's all rather exciting.  I still hope Angelo comes good - his technical play is really good.

Reminded me of subbuteo, and at hit one with my wrist for the kick. (The only defender that moved a bit)

 
Let’s hope he does better than other Brazilian wonders we have signed, like Kennedy, Nathan, Piazon, Mineiro, Pato, Washington etc..

and more like Willian, And erm, Luiz? Rambo? Belletti? Emerson Thom?

 
Don't recall anything like this for the other kids but even the BBC has an article about Estevao joining Chelsea and a comments section too!

There must be another YouTube vid doing the rounds as the one I saw wasn't all that tbh.

This one has significantly more hype around him. The others are completely different cases as well.

Washington was always bought for the U23-team and Strasbourg. Potentially with the hope of him either developing or just to sell on. Kenedy and Nathan were quite cheap and not the biggest talk of the town from Brazil at the time. Piazon was a sad casen. Lots of hype and the talent was there - just didn’t fulfill his potential. And well, Pato. We took him in on loan after several major injuries - hardly fits a list of Brazilian prospects.

For me, Estevao is one of the most exciting investments in many years. Really looking forward to seeing him and Paez on the team.

That explains why there was an article about Estevao on the BBC, and they only mentioned paez and the strasbourg kids (they're already chelsea players) and didn't mention any of the others above iirc.
