Estevao Willian and Josh Acheampong are two of Chelsea’s most promising young players.
The pair do not just offer promise, though. They are also making an impact at Chelsea now, which was evident to see last weekend.
What is Chelsea's best XI when everyone is fit? Here is our team! – What do you think?
Shuffle Estevao and Neto equally Lacroix besides Colwill at the center Shuffle Acheampong with James and Lacroix Henderson shuffles with Lavia Barco shuffles with Caicedo
I don't think anyone would question the midfield or forwards based on what we have seen so far this season, but if Estevao does not deliver or track back then Neto gets in. Defence is the main issue and Josh has to play IMO. My doubt is Reece because of his ftness
James might be the best right-back in the world when fit. And he’s our captain. He has to start IMO
Chelsea beat Manchester United 2-0 in the Premier League, with both Estevao and Acheampong starting. Estevao put in an exciting performance in attack, while Acheampong was solid at the back.
It is no wonder that they are attracting plenty of interest right now. In fact, according to journalist Simon Phillips, “all” of Europe’s big clubs are interested in Estevao and Acheampong.
However, sources have told Si Phillips Talks Chelsea that they are confident that the pair will both end up signing new contracts at Stamford Bridge, although nothing is guaranteed at this moment.

The same sources have claimed that Chelsea have had some initial discussions with the representatives of both players about signing new deals. Amid interest from Europe’s elite, though, their agents will know they have leverage.
It has been reported that Bayern Munich have already made an enquiry about signing Estevao. In the past, the German giants have also shown interest in Acheampong.
Hopefully, Chelsea are able to keep hold of both players and get them to sign new deals. Their ceilings are incredibly high.
