Chelsea agree deal for their first signing of the summer window but there's a catch

Chelsea have agreed their first signing of the summer transfer window, although the deal contains a catch.. Mauricio Pochettino 's side spent much of the campaign wallowing in mid-table, yet a late season surge could end with them sneaking into Europe with a sixth-place finish.

Even if that is the case, it will not represent a satisfactory return for the more than £1 billion owner Todd Boehly has spent on transfers over the past two years.Chelsea have spent heavily on talented youngsters, many of whom have failed to convince at Stamford Bridge. The Stamford Bridge club are't going to abandon that approach though, and have now agreed a deal that will be completed when the summer transfer window opens.The deal for the winger - who was only promoted to the Palmeiras first-team in January - could rise to £55m with a number of performance related add-ons.Estevao is considered one of the best young talents in Brazil, although his emergence has been somewhat overshadowed by the stunning rise of Real Madrid-bound Endrick.

They recently appointed Sam Jewell as their director of global recruitment, who regularly scoured South America for young talents while at former club Brighton.
