Under Todd Bouley’s administration, Chelsea have washed away South American markets, gained the best young talent, already seen with the signatures of Andrey Santos, Kendry Paes and Aaron Anselmino.
These are three examples of players purchased for less fees and are expected to be significantly worth it after a year or two of development. What we already saw in Santos is developing one of the best midfielders in France in Strasbourg.
But the epitome of their transfer recruitment model, which is perhaps the best young talent from all over the world, is the signature of Estebao, a Brazilian winger whose South American market is set to join West London in July.
Teens could be followed by another attacking superstar this summer if recent reports are believed…
Chelsea submits offer for Brazilian sense
Earlier this week, Chelsea submitted an offer from Endric, a Real Madrid sense. Bruce is about to add an option with an 18-year-old Brazilian on the radar and with Jackson.

Mega Money deals, controversial moves, famous flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinions across Football FanCust.
Real Madrid bought the promising forward when he was just 16 years old, turning the most expensive 16 in history, costing the Spanish giant a total fee of around 60 million euros (£51 million).
Endrick currently has Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo ahead of him in an order that limits the minutes of this season.
Endric has made 29 appearances for Real Madrid this season, scoring seven goals in 562 minutes. But how does he compare to Chelsea’s own Brazilian superstar?
How does Endrick compare with Estevao?
Estebao arrived at Chelsea this summer after 62 appearances for the Palmerias senior team, scoring 21 goals and providing 10 assists at just 17 years old.
The Brazilian is expected to be part of Chelsea’s first team next season, and will compete for the Wing’s starting spot with the likes of Pedro Neto and Noni Madue.

When comparing the underlying indicators of the two young people, it is important to state that Endric played around 600 minutes for Real Madrid and played as a striker. Meanwhile, Estevao plays on the right and has been playing for over 2,500 minutes.
Both players are combined in tight areas, with Estebao using his progressive toolkit to engage in deeper stages, with Endric occupied within and around the box, attempting to provide that killer instinct in front of the goal.
Since winning through a major move to Chelsea, Estebao has broken a record in Brazil, overturning Neymar’s Campe Onato Brasileiro goal contribution record, scoring 10 goals and providing eight assists in 2009 to defeat Neymar’s 16-goal involvement.
Before Estevao really broke on a global level, Endric was already highly acclaimed and labelled “future phenomenon” by Brazilian legend Cuff, but Clark Neto said, “He’ll be better than Romario and Ronaldo!”
If Boehly and Co can secure a Madrid starlet of £68,000 per week to Chelsea’s attacking force partner Estevao, they will undoubtedly be considered one of the most threatening young duos in European football.
