Chelsea look like they could be about to sign another talented Brazilian youngster in this transfer window.

He continues to impress at Palmeiras. Yannick Bolasie labelled Estevao as “unstoppable” after one recent performance, and Chelsea supporters will be hoping to see that kind of devastation he has been unleashing in Brazil in the Premier League.
Until then, the Blues will be relying on Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke to provide a threat on the right-hand side — not bad options.
Before Estevao officially links up with Chelsea, though, the club could sign one of his compatriots.
Earlier this week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed that Chelsea have opened talks to sign Gabriel Mec.
Since then, it looks like the Blues have made quite a bit of progress in their bid to land the attacking midfielder.
According to Romano, Chelsea are now confident that they can sign Mec from Gremio, with the 16-year-old keen on joining the club.
On X, Romano posted: “Chelsea have presented their project to Brazilian talent Gabriel Mec and they’re confident to make the deal happen.
“Negotiations underway with both Gremio and 2008 born talent’s camp, keen on joining Chelsea.”
It is really not a surprise to hear that Mec is keen to join Chelsea. While things have not exactly gone to plan for the club yet since they were taken over by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, it is still a bit of an exciting project that they have got going on.
The Blues have signed a lot of young and talented players, with a lot of them coming from Mec’s homeland Brazil.
That obviously includes Estevao, as well as the likes of Deivid Washington and Andrey Santos. Seeing so many of his compatriots sign for Chelsea has probably also enticed Mec.
You would expect the Blues to complete a deal soon and add yet another young Brazilian to their ranks.
