With Chelsea pushing ahead in their bold squad transformation, one rising star may be ready to leap into the spotlight:
Estêvão Willian the teenage sensation dubbed “Messinho” is now being considered as a potential first-choice right winger for the 2025/26 season.
Sources close to the club suggest that Estêvão could be fast-tracked into the senior setup, especially if talks for Pedro Neto cool off or fall through.
Why Estêvão?
Blistering pace
Elite ball control for his age
Deadly in 1v1 situations
Tactical maturity beyond his years
The club views him as a generational talent, and insiders believe Enzo Maresca may be tempted to give him a major role sooner than expected.
Pedro Neto Update:
While Pedro Neto has long been linked as a primary target for the right flank, his injury record and rising market value have reportedly made Chelsea pause opening the door for Estêvão to stake his claim.
Youth Over Experience?
If Maresca puts his trust in the Brazilian wonderkid, it would mark yet another bold statement that Chelsea’s future is being built now not years from now.
Could Estêvão take the Premier League by storm next season?
