Soon-to-be-Chelsea player Estevao put in yet another impressive performance for Palmeiras on Wednesday night.
The teenager opened the scoring in a Copa Libertadores group stage match against Paraguayan side Cerro Porteno. However, it was Estevao’s all-round display that impressed supporters on X, with many having seen a compilation of his best moments from the game:
He could be the best RW in the Premier League next season

Cant believe this kid is only 17. He needs to make that RW position his in Chelsea.

When will Chelsea sign the winger?
The player actually turned 18 a couple of weeks ago so he is now eligible to join a Premier League team. The Blues put arrangements in place to sign him all the way back in June last year.
They will pay €34m up front, with another €23m in performance-related add-ons. He will officially become a Chelsea player when the summer transfer window opens next month.
Will Estevao feature at the Club World Cup?
He won’t move to Stamford Bridge prior to the tournament in the United States. The Brazilian’s agent, Andre Cury, confirmed that he will leave Palmeiras right after the competition.
Estevao is set to play for his current team at the Club World Cup. They have group games against Porto, Al Ahly and Inter Miami.
There is the potential for the forward to face his new team during the knockout stages, which would be rather strange if it does happen.
