A final puts, highlighting his impact: “Since Estevao came in, that’s where we have had a bit of joy, just get the ball to him, no, they are using the left hand side which we aren’t getting any joy from.”

Estevao Willian could be generational for Chelsea

It’s safe to say that at just 18, the sky is simply the limit for the Brazilian. Amid a sea of young talent at Chelsea, the fact that Estevao is being trusted by Enzo Maresca in games over other players speaks volumes.

The Italian has previously stated not to expect to see him too much, but given his talent, it’s hard to ignore him.

Maresca said: “We need to pay a little bit more attention, because first of all, he’s from the other part of the world and also he’s very, very young. So we need to pay attention.

“As I said, he is not under pressure, give him happiness, give him time, he needs to adapt. Hopefully we can give him minutes, so he’s even more happy. But for sure, he’s a talented player.

“For me, the biggest mistake we can do with him is to put him under pressure. He’s very young, he needs to adapt.”
