Chelsea confirm signing of Palmeiras wonderkid

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Palmeiras wonderkid Estevao Willian on a long-term contract.

The 17-year-old is considered as one of the best young talents in world football and the Blues have won the race for his services.

He will join the club for an initial €34m, but the overall value of the deal could rise to €60m depending on performance add-ons.

Willian was also on the radar of Barcelona and Manchester United, but he was convinced to join the Blues due to their exciting project.

The club are focused on building a successful team for the future and they are currently aiming to sign emerging talents with big potential.

Willian has been dubbed as the next Neymar due to his dribbling skills and finishing ability. He could be a superstar in the long run.

The youngster has signed a contract until June 2033, but he will only join the club next summer when he turns 18 due to Brexit rules.
