Chelsea fans have grown to love Estevao Willian since he made the move to Stamford Bridge, and he’s attracting the support of other players too.
It’s safe to say that Estevao Willian is one of those South American signings that has actually paid off, after some criticism that signing young and using Strasbourg wasn’t working for Chelsea.
Whilst Estevao was never sent on loan to Strasbourg, he’s already shown that he’s more than up to the standards of Premier League football.
Despite being just 18 years of age, Estevao has given some of the best defenders in world football a run for their money, which includes Jurrien Timber against Arsenal midweek.
However, this is just the start for the youngster, who could go on to become one of the best players in world football on his current trajectory.
Estevao Willian was unreal against Arsenal 🔥
Chelsea fans, where can he still improve?

Jamal Musiala has his say on Estevao Willian
Estevao Willian is still only young, and supporters forget that sometimes when urging him to start every game for the Blues.
Liam Rosenior has realised this and already has a plan in place for Estevao to make sure that he doesn’t burn out or become overused this season.
His last two performances have been special for Chelsea, and even attracted the attention of former player Jamal Musiala, who now plays for Bayern Munich.
Speaking on the SDS YouTube channel, he said this.

Who are some of Chelsea’s best dribblers in history?
Chelsea fans have had the pleasure of watching some of the best dribblers in world football over the years, including the likes of Eden Hazard, Joe Cole, Gianfranco Zola and Arjen Robben.
It’s a part of the Chelsea DNA, it seems, to possess the dribbling skill and the ability to cut inside onto your stronger foot, just like Estevao and Pedro Neto from the right.
Jamal Musiala is up there as one of the best dribblers in world football right now, but he never got to showcase his talents in the Chelsea first team after leaving at just 16.
