Chelsea’s future certainly looks bright at this stage off the back of a number of additions they have made in recent transfer windows.
The highlight addition before this summer was undoubtably Kendry Paez, who has already made his mark at senior international level.
He scored at the recent Copa America for Ecuador, achieving that feat before the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar.
However, the club have perhaps even topped that exciting signing with the addition of Estevao Willian. Both are set to join up with the first team next summer.
The large transfer fee the club have paid for the Brazilian suggests they have a lot of faith in his ability to become a star, and they may already have an idea where he fill feature for them.
Chelsea see Estevao Willian playing Number 10
The 17-year-old’s agent, Andre Cury, has told UOL that the club have already told them that they can see Estevao playing in a central role.
He said: “The entire project was worked on with the player’s father, who is a former Francana athlete, a former goalkeeper. He knows a lot about football and we talked to the player. Chelsea’s project is to have a new, young team, with organization and investment.
“They can also see Estêvão playing as a 10. Here he plays as a winger, but there they can see Estêvão in that role. It’s an important thing.”
Chelsea have a lot of squad depth already who play in a similar role to the likes of Estevao and Paez.
Huge chance for Noni Madueke
Cole Palmer is going to be one of the first names on the teamsheet for next season, while there is also potential for Noni Madueke to have a breakout campaign.
They could well have been competing with Michael Olise too after the club reportedly made him their number one target this summer.
The Frenchman now looks set instead for a move to Bayern Munich.
