Brazil, known as the football kingdom, has indeed not seen many talented players emerge in recent years. They have been eliminated in the quarter-finals for three consecutive World Cups, leaving fans utterly disappointed with the national team. However, it seems that Brazil has now welcomed its next leading player: the 17-year-old Estevão. This prodigy, playing in the Brazilian league, has delivered an impressive performance this season with 13 goals and 9 assists, showcasing a level far beyond his peers. He is even considered stronger than the Estevão of the same period, which led him to smoothly secure the Brazilian league MVP title.
Winning the league MVP without reaching adulthood is a truly astonishing feat. Estevão undoubtedly lives up to the expectations of his fans, who have been hailing him as the "new Messi" in recent years. In the Brazilian league, he has consistently demonstrated top-tier performances with his delicate footwork, captivating the interest of European top clubs. Ultimately, the wealthy Chelsea secured Estevão's signing with a hefty price tag of 50 million euros.
Estevão will soon display his talent and strength in the Premier League. Currently, his performance surpasses that of Neymar during the same period when he played in the Brazilian league. The player himself is highly ambitious, aiming to become a top football superstar in the future. Esteemed veterans from Brazil also hold high hopes for him, and it is indeed a gem that Chelsea has found in this signing.
