Estevao Willian has sent a message to Chelsea fans after his impressive showing for Brazil in their win against South Korea on Friday.
Brazil ran out 5-0 winners as Estevao continued his good start to the season with two goals, one in each half, whilst Rodrygo also scored twice, with Vinicius Junior the other scorer.
The teenager’s latest goals came less than a week after he scored a last minute winner against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Estevao has had a brilliant start to the season, better than many would have expected, and the 18-year-old is quickly establishing himself as a key player for both club and country.
The youngster is regarded as the best player to come out of Brazil since Neymar, and Daniel Sturridge feels Estevao will be the next player to light up the world stage.

Estevao has quickly established himself as a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge, and after Brazil’s latest win he was asked about the Chelsea supporters.
“It’s incredible, In the last game, when I was warming up, you could feel that people expect something from me, I’m very happy about that,” he said as quoted by The Standard.
“I try to repay it on the field and make them proud. I can see how much they value me and want me there.
“My feeling is that I can’t let them down, I want to help and make them proud.
“On the pitch, things are going well. I’m adapting faster than I expected to the Premier League, to [Chelsea head coach Enzo] Maresca’s style and to European football.
“I’m not 100% adapted yet, but definitely more than I imagined. I’m happy to be playing for a big club in Europe.”
Estevao isn’t the only Brazilian impressing at Stamford Bridge, with Joao Pedro and Andrey Santos also making good starts to the season.

Santos has had to be more patient for his chances, but he’s impressed and will be a valuable option in midfield throughout the campaign.
