Chelsea confirm Estevão’s shirt number | OneFootball

Chelsea have officially confirmed that new signing Estevão will wear the No.41 shirt for the upcoming 2025/26 season.

The 18-year-old Brazilian winger, who joined the Blues this summer from Palmeiras, linked up with his new team-mates at Cobham earlier this week as Enzo Maresca’s squad continued pre-season preparations.

Speaking after the announcement, Estevão said: “I am very happy, it feels very rewarding to represent Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world. I hope to help the team in the best way possible.”

The No.41 shirt holds personal significance for the teenager, as it was the same number he wore during his time in the Palmeiras senior side.

Estevão could make his first Chelsea appearance as early as this weekend, with the Blues set to face Bayer Leverkusen on Friday and AC Milan on Sunday as part of the VisitMalta Weekender at Stamford Bridge.
