Chelsea have signed ‘new Neymar’ after ‘insane’ deal agreed – fans react
Chelsea fans have taken to social media to express their excitement about the impending arrival of ‘once in a lifetime’ talent Estevao.
The 17-year-old’s 73rd-minute winner against Gremio has made the top goalscorer in the Brazilian Serie A as Palmeiras seek to win their fourth consecutive league title.
Arguably the best talent Brazil have produced since Neymar, the right winger broke the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain superstar’s record as the most productive Under-17 in the history of the Brazilian top-flight with 20 goal contributions.
Chelsea snuck in and beat a host of European clubs to secure the wonderkid’s signature, paying a fee of £56million, including add-ons.
Estevao will officially join the West London club in the summer of 2025, alongside fellow South American prospect Kendry Paez.
Chelsea fans believe they have a future superstar in Estevao
Enzo Maresca’s side are well stocked on the right wing, both Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer have played there to great effect over the past 18 months.
Still, Chelsea fans have taken to X, formally known as Twitter, to express their excitement over the youngster’s impending arrival at Stamford Bridge.
In other news, Cole Palmer posts injury update ahead of Chelsea v Arsenal showdown.
