Estevao is a less-known signing in the Premier League in the summer transfer window of 2025. The Brazilian youngster has even received less attention than Joao Pedro when they both arrived at Chelsea. Pedro has previously played for Brighton in the Premier League, while Estevao is a new star from South America who has never played in Europe.
The 34 million Euro price for Estevao is not low but it is not so high that he takes the entire view of fans. After each week of competition, the name of this young star has gradually become more widely known. Since the beginning of the season, Estevao has not always been a regular player, but his influence is growing. From the goal against Liverpool in the Premier League to the goal against Barcelona in the Champions League, the class of this young striker is unquestionable.
This season, Estevao has scored one Premier League goal and three Champions League goals. In a season of intense competition and many fluctuations, keeping Estevao for matches in the European arena could be the right country for Enzo Maresca.
The goal against Barca helped Estevao equal the record of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, when he became the teenager to score consecutively in the first 3 matches of the Champions League debut. After the match, Estevao described it as the most memorable moment of his career ever.
"Estevao has not been noticed because Chelsea have signed many other players this summer. His progress is remarkable, being considered the best young talent in South America at the moment. The difference is that that talent comes from the English football environment, not Real Madrid or Barcelona.
This reminds me of Vinicius Jr. He also had great potential like this and then became a shining star. For Estevao, just playing on the pitch is enough to shine better than all the other Chelsea stars" - the Brazilian striker's representative shared.
Before the match, there were a series of comparisons on social networks about Estevao and Lamine Yamal. Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to end the match, the Chelsea star took the spotlight. Raphinha - teammates of Yamal (Barca) and Estevao (Brazil) compared these two young stars.
"Both of them are developing in the right direction to soon become world-class stars, both at club and national team level.
I always try to help them with everything I have, that is on-field experience, playing style, tactical thinking, ... everything. As for the issue of ability, I have no further comments, they are all outstanding stars. Both will develop a lot in the coming years" - the 28-year-old striker shared.
