'Since Neymar, he is the greatest player I’ve seen born in Brazil.'

Estevao Willian is set to move to Chelsea next year Chelsea’s new signing Estevao Willian is the best Brazilian-born player since Neymar, according to World Cup winner Branco. Chelsea have already reached an agreement to sign the 17-year-old from Palmeiras, paying €34 million up front plus a further €23m in add-ons.

‘Estevao, for me, with all due respect to the others, this is something serious, something that I’ve never said and I’m going to say – since Neymar, he is the greatest player I’ve seen born in Brazil. ‘This is my opinion, you’ve seen him close, you know. This is Brazil, they’re all spectacular but this boy, his ceiling is a bit higher.’ Speaking last month, Palmeiras’ head coach, Abel Ferreira, said he was ‘scared’ that Chelsea would raid the Brazilian club for even more of their young players.
