  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Nicknamed 'Messinho', Estevao and Palmeiras sealed a hotly-anticipated transfer agreement with Chelsea on Saturday, and he will move to Stamford Bridge in 2025 once he has turned 18. The Blues will make an upfront payment of €34 million (£29m/$36m) in a deal could eventually be worth £56m ($71m) with add-ons, with Estevao touted to be the next big thing to emerge from Brazil.

  • WHAT PALMER SAID ABOUT THE CELEBRATION

    Estevao shared an image of the celebration on his Instagram story and tagged Palmer, who in turn reshared it with the message "Soon" alongside a 'winking' emoji and a blue heart. The Brazilian also posted the photo to his grid, where Palmer responded with a 'cold' emoji.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR ESTEVAO AND CHELSEA?

    Palmer isn't the only Estevao fan out there either. Asked about who excites him most from the next generation of Brazilian stars at a recent event, current talisman Neymar said: "I think Estevao is the big talent that is surging in Brazilian football. I think he will be a genius." Given their investment in the youngster, Chelsea will hope that is the case as they prepare to welcome him in 2025.
