The young Brazilian, who is predominantly a winger, is comfortable playing in multiple positions in the attack as claimed by his agent Andre Cury. The player's representative also revealed the position where the Blues want him to play once he formally joins them in 2025.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
Speaking to reporters, Willian's agent said, "He can adapt to any style of play. Chelsea is a club that sees Estevao playing as a No.10. For us that is important. He can develop even more playing in the middle."
