Estevao Willian, the highly anticipated Brazilian talent, has shared his excitement about his upcoming move to Chelsea in a recent interview with ESPN Brazil. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder, who will officially join the Blues in the summer of 2025, has quickly become one of the most talked-about prospects in world football.
The young star’s potential has captured the attention of Chelsea fans and football enthusiasts worldwide. With many already marking his future arrival at Stamford Bridge as one of the most exciting developments in the sport.
In the interview, Estevao revealed his preferences for both his shirt number and preferred position once he joins Chelsea.
Shirt Number 41?
When asked about his ideal shirt number, Estevao expressed a fondness for number 41.
“I don’t have a strong preference, but I really like the number 41. If they have it, it will be cool,” he said.
Estevao’s openness to this number shows his humble yet enthusiastic approach to his new chapter at Chelsea. Even as he continues to build anticipation ahead of his move to the Premier League.
A Versatile Playmaker
On the pitch, Estevao reflected on his preferred role. Though he is currently playing on the wing, the Brazilian talent has always seen himself as a number 10.
“I’ve always been a number ten, but I moved to the wing to have more one-on-one opportunities,” he explained. “Of course, I respect the decisions of my coach, Abel Ferreira, and I’ve enjoyed playing on the wing. However, in the future, I would like to play more centrally, where I feel most comfortable.”
Estevao’s versatility makes him an exciting prospect, with his ability to adapt to different roles likely to benefit Chelsea as they welcome one of Brazil’s brightest young stars.
A Bright Future at Chelsea
With Chelsea fans eagerly awaiting his arrival, Estevao’s move represents the club’s continued investment in young talent. As one of the most highly regarded players in Brazil, his future in London promises to be an exciting one for both him and the Blues.
