Brazilian wonderkid Estevao has expressed his eagerness to play alongside Cole Palmer at Chelsea next summer, as he prepares for his move from Palmeiras once he turns 18.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Estevao shared his admiration for Palmer and revealed a special connection they’ve already formed ahead of his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

“When I signed for Chelsea, the next day I scored a goal and celebrated like Palmer,” Estevao said.

“I tagged him on Instagram, and he called me a star. I told him he’s the real star!”

The young Brazilian forward is confident about the future and excited to team up with Palmer, adding, “He said we’re going to do a lot of great things together for Chelsea.”

Chelsea fans will no doubt be excited about the prospect of Estevao and Palmer linking up as part of the club’s exciting young core in the seasons to come.
