Everyone has been raving about winger Estevao Willian this week, and I’ve just written up a report on Chelsea officials believing that he will become one of the best players in the top 10 in world football within three seasons!
Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was also absolutely raving about Estevao earlier this week after he scored a goal for Brazil on international duty. Of course, Acnelotti is managing Estevao for the national team right now.
The Blues winger has also recently revealed one of the secrets behind the great start he has had to life at Chelsea so far in his career.

In words picked up by SPTC today, Tunisia coach Sami Trabelsi said on Estevao:
“I think he’s a new football genius emerging, very young.
“I think he’s doing very well and he’s a player who can be expected to be among the greats, among the best in the world, certainly, in the coming years.
“If he manages to have good performances or win titles, whether with his club or national team, he will be among the players who, in the coming years, could even compete for the Ballon d’Or.”
