Chelsea signed Estevao Willian from Palmeiras last summer, with the Brazilian being viewed as a generational talent.
It now looks like the Blues want to buy another young attacker with an incredibly high ceiling just like Estevao.
There is speculation that the Club World Cup winners could make a move for him in the next transfer window.

Chelsea make interest in Arda Guler known
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea have made it clear to all parties that they want to sign Real Madrid youngster Arda Guler.
The outlet claims that the Conference League holders see him as a “generational talent”. With that in mind, signing the attacking midfielder will not be easy.
Real Madrid will be extremely reluctant to let Guler go, while Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool are also thought to be interested in the Turk.

Guler is not the only Real Madrid player Chelsea have recently been linked with. It has been claimed that Chelsea also hold an interest in Eduardo Camavinga.
While the Blues appear to be fans of Camavinga and Guler, Real Madrid are big admirers of Enzo Fernandez.
The latest rumours suggest that Fernandez could move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.
Arda Guler’s stats this season
Alvaro Arbeloa will want Guler to continue being part of his squad if he is still in the Bernabeu dugout next term.
In 29 La Liga appearances this season, Guler has scored four goals and provided eight assists. It is a nice return for a 20-year-old playing for the biggest club in the world. He is handling the pressure that comes with wearing the heavy white shirt very well.
According to WhoScored, Guler is also making 2.2 key passes per game. Only Kylian Mbappe has a higher average (2.3) in Arbeloa’s squad.
You can see why Chelsea want the Turkey international, but it would be very surprising if Real Madrid sold him. He has been one of their best players in the current campaign.
