    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.

  • 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.
