“The view in the club” – Top insider shares Chelsea’s future plan for Estevao Willian | OneFootball

Chelsea are planning to do something different with Estevao Willian in the next two years according to journalist Matt Law.

Estevao has hit the ground running in England having arrived from Brazilian side Palmeiras after the Club World Cup, despite a deal worth up to £51.4m being agreed in the summer of 2024.

The 18-year-old has impressed for both club and country and has managed four goals for Chelsea, including two in the Champions League.

John Terry has hailed Estevao as a superstar, and the teenager scored twice for Brazil during the international break.

Those performances earned Estevao rave reviews from Carlo Ancelotti, and the winger is continuing to go from strength to strength.

Estevao has mainly played on the right wing, but according to Law Chelsea have a plan to change that in the next two years.

“The view in the club is very much in the next two years he will move from being a right winger to a number ten,” he told The London Is Blue Podcast.

“They’re not concerned about where that leaves them with Cole and how to fit it all in at all.”

“They seem to have a plan that they’re not telling me about, but they really do properly inside the club believe this lad’s a number ten.

“They don’t for one minute think out on the right is his full-time position.”

John Terry raises concern ahead of Burnley game

Chelsea host Burnley on Saturday lunchtime looking to make it three Premier League wins in a row, although Estevao is unlikely to start.

The Brazil international played in both games over the break, and with a huge game against Barcelona on Tuesday Enzo Maresca will likely continue to manage his minutes.

However, John Terry has raised a concern about Estevao adapting to the early kick off, but given how he’s taken everything else in his stride it shouldn’t be an issue.
