John Terry sends warning to Chelsea fans as he waxes lyrical over “absolute superstar” | OneFootball

John Terry believes Estevao Willian will become a world class player, but has warned supporters to be patient with the attacker.

The Blues agreed a deal worth up to £51.4 with Brazilian side Palmerias in 2024, and he finally joined up with his new team-mates after the Club World Cup.

Estevao has made an instant impact and has hit the ground running for both club and country, and scored against Senegal and Tunisia over the international break.

Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti has been full of praise for Estevao, and he’s already established himself as a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge.

The 18-year-old has scored four goals for the Blues this season, including two in the Champions League, but club legend Terry has warned fans they might need to be patient with Estevao.

“Just wanna touch on how good Estevao has been for us already at such a young age,” he said on TikTok.

“Been a breath of fresh air, great for the supporters. The supporters love him. I think he’s one we’ve got to be a little bit patient with, but he’s an absolute superstar, and I think he’s going to be a world-class player.

Terry has also been impressed by how strong and physical Estevao has been, and admitted he’s delighted to have him at the club.

“Delighted to have him at Chelsea. I think he would be magnificent at the Baller League tonight. I’m sure he grew up playing on the streets of Brazil in physical games like this.
