Former Chelsea winger Willian has issued a stark warning to the club's manager Xabi Alonso regarding the playing time of young Brazilian talent Estevao.
The experienced midfielder is convinced that the 19-year-old compatriot possesses immense potential and could develop into one of the Premier League's finest:
He has an incredible ceiling, and over time he could become the best player in the Premier League.
The limited game time for the youngster under Alonso this season has already sparked a flurry of transfer rumours, with interest from European powerhouses like Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, according to Football.london, Chelsea's hierarchy views the Brazilian as an untouchable asset, crucial to the club’s long-term project.
Last season, Estevao started 12 Premier League matches and netted eight goals across all competitions in the blue shirt.
