Estevao on what he’s looking forward to at Chelsea

There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Estevao, who’s viewed as the biggest talent in South American football since Neymar.

Estevao is in line to make his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace on Sunday, and he’s spoken about what he can’t wait to experience.

“I can’t wait to to experience all the iconic grounds around England,” he told FourFourTwo.

“I want to see everything. I’m into football heritage. England lives and breathes it, I want to soak all of it in.”

Chelsea need to bed Estevao in gradually, and not put pressure on him from day one, but he’s clearly an exciting talent who will be making an impact at Stamford Bridge for many years to come.

Chelsea have a Brazilian feel about them

Chelsea have got a Brazilian feel about them this season, and as well as Estevao, the Blues also have Andrey Santos and Joao Pedro.

Pedro joined from Brighton this summer, and has made an instant impact with five goals in give goals, including in both the semi final and final of the Club World Cup.
