Chelsea-bound Estevao Willian has given another boost to the Blues ahead of his move to Stamford Bridge.
It was in June last year that Chelsea agreed a swoop to snap-up Estevao on a permanent deal from Brazilian club Palmeiras. The Blues agreed an initial £29million fee, which could rise to £55million with add-ons, with the 17-year-old set to formally complete his move to west London this summer.
Estevao has been earmarked as one of the brightest prospects in world football - with Chelsea beating several clubs to his signature which were reported to include Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
The teenager has scored 20 goals with 10 assists for the Palmeiras first-team and he will officially link up with the Blues squad this summer after the FIFA Club World Cup.
Ahead of Estevao's move to Stamford Bridge, the 17-year-old has seen his market value increase yet again.
When Chelsea confirmed the deal in June last year, Transfermarkt listed Estevao's value at €30million (£25million) and that has since significantly increased.
The latest valuation for the future Chelsea stands at €55million (£46million). That's also an increase of €5million (£4.2million) from December last year and is almost double from the time when the Blues confirmed the deal to sign Estevao.
The teenager plays on the right wing for Palmeiras, and is also capable of performing in the centre forward role.
Estevao also already has four caps for Brazil's first-ream under his belt - and will feature for his current side at the Club World Cup before moving to Chelsea in time for next season.
