(Video): Chelsea star achieves big career milestone with impressive performance on the international stage | OneFootball

Estevao Willian achieved a huge career milestone on Thursday evening as he scored his first goal for Brazil against Chile.

The 18-year-old arrived at Chelsea this summer, but the Blues agreed a deal with Palmerias last summer worth up to £51.4m.

Estevao is one of six new attackers in the Chelsea squad, with the Blues also making five new signings in the attacking third as the attack underwent a huge revamp.

A lot of excitement has surrounded the arrival of Estevao, and he’s viewed as the biggest talent in Brazilian football since Neymar.

He scored on his first start for Chelsea in a pre-season game against Bayer Leverkusen, and has made an impressive start to life at Stamford Bridge.

Estevao has started two of Chelsea’s first three Premier League games, and was particularly impressive against West Ham, where he became the youngest Blues player to register a league assist in the club’s history.

The precocious talent is already a full Brazil international, and on Thursday evening against Chile he hit another big milestone with his first goal for his country.

Brazil worked a nice team move and Estevao was there to bundle the ball home at the back post with an acrobatic finish from short range.

Estevao is viewed as a generational talent by Chelsea, but it’s important the Blues provide the right environment for him to thrive in, and don’t put a lot of expectation on his shoulders, but he’s made a brilliant start to life in England.

Estevao wasn’t the only Chelsea to score for his country, with Marc Cucurella also finding the back of the net for Spain.
