Clubs ‘Jealous’ that £52M star is joining Chelsea and not Premier League rivals!
Everyone is talking about Estevao Wilian, the young Brazilian who will join Chelsea next year, and former Tottenham midfielder Sandro is envious that he will be playing in Chelsea’s blue instead of Spurs’ white.
Estevao has just made 22 professional games for Palmeiras but is swiftly making an impact in his hometown, prompting Chelsea to swoop in and bring him to the Premier League, albeit he will not be available until next season.
The CHELSEA news followed reports of a potential £52 million deal to the Brazilian club. Estevao has reportedly signed a nine-year contract with the club that would expire in 2033.
Now – Sandro has admitted that he is very jealous he will be playing in the blue of Chelsea rather than the white of Spurs – Speaking toOnlineCassino.com.br he said: “All I can say about Estevao Willian is that Spurs should’ve bought him first.
“He is a great player and has shown in the last few years that he can take players on, shoot and is so skillful. He is an exciting player to watch.
“I’m not happy that he’s signed for Chelsea but he is the sort of player that can change the future for Brazil, he is one of those players. He is a top player and I think he’s ready to play in the Premier League, as long as Chelsea give him time to find his best level and take that next step.
“There is a massive difference between football in Brazil and the Premier League, but If he trains hard then he can be one of CHELSEA and Brazil’s top players.
Neymar was asked in a recent interview with TNT which player among Brazil’s current generation of young stars made him the most excited, and he picked out Willian – who has been labelled Messinho by his followers.
Explaining his choice, Neymar added: ”He is a great talent that is emerging in Brazilian football today. I think he’s going to be a genius.’
