Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira says 18-year-old Estevao Willian is ready for the Premier League after scoring in his farewell match against future club Chelsea in the Club World Cup. Despite Palmeiras losing 2-1, Ferreira praised Estevao’s talent and character, urging Chelsea to support him as he adapts to life in England.
Estevao will now finalize his €57 million move to Chelsea, where coach Enzo Maresca also praised the young winger's potential. Another new signing, Jamie Gittens from Dortmund, was also present and will join Chelsea for pre-season.
