Estevao Willian was labeled as a player with huge potential.

Abel Ferreira hesitated for a moment, claiming he wouldn’t talk out loud what he had in his mind, but then – in a rare moment of full disclosure when it comes to teenagers – he revealed.

“Estevao is different from everything I’ve ever seen,” the Palmeiras manager shared with the media at the beginning of the past month after a 2-1 victory against Botafogo-SP in the Brazilian Cup.

The 2-time Libertadores champ is not famous for letting himself get carried away with ease, especially when he is recorded. But at that moment, he shared everything that was on his mind – the teenager had just netted the winning goal near the end of the match and produced a phenomenal show again.

Chelsea didn’t wait any longer and inked him as Bayern Munich, PSG and Man City also wanted to sign the 17-year-old winger as the Blues could pay up to 52 million pounds and the new signing will arrive in the UK after Fifa’s new Club World Cup next summer.
