A number of top-class Brazilian players have played for Chelsea in recent years.

From the likes of Willian, Ramires, Oscar, David Luiz, Felipe Luis and, most recently, Thiago Silva. These names were indeed loved by Chelsea fans during their time at the club.

However, French legend Emmanuel Petit believes buzzing youngster Estevao Willian could end up being the greatest Brazilian to have worn the Chelsea shirt.

Estevao Willian is highly rated despite being just 17 years, and many expect him to go on and have a great career.

Petit has said: “There is no ceiling on Estevao Willian as a player. Chelsea also have to be patient with him.

“What he has done in Brazil is amazing but so many players have these promising starts to their careers and after two or three years it’s gone.

“I’ve seen him play a few times and he has something very different. He is the type of guy you are happy to pay money to watch.

“He has everything and can go on to have an incredible career, but things can change so quickly in football.”
