Chelsea has officially announced the signing of young winger Willian Estevao from Brazilian club Palmeiras.
According to the agreement between the clubs, the 17-year-old wunderkind will stay with his current club for another year before joining the "Blues" in the summer of 2025.
It was previously reported that Chelsea will pay Palmeiras €32 million plus bonuses for the player.
The 17-year-old has already earned a strong reputation in South America as one of the most exciting talents due to his skillful dribbling and high speed. He has already caused many problems for opposing defenses in his first season in senior football.
Estevao has been playing for Palmeiras' first team since the beginning of the year. He has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 23 matches.
