Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an intriguing update on one situation at Chelsea right now that is certainly an interesting one to read about.
There has been so much said about Chelsea’s recruitment over the last three years, with some of it being very good, and some of it not being so good. Either way it has been much debated.
But one thing that I think will be universally agreed upon by everyone in football and fans around the world is that winger Estevao Willian to Chelsea looks like an incredible coup by the club.
Estevao does not join Chelsea until the summer when he turns of age, and until then he will be playing in the Brazilian league this season and is continuing to show what he can do by scoring and assisting many goals.
Barcelona wanted him
Chelsea beat some top clubs to sign him, one of which was Barcelona. This is what Romano has been speaking about today and also, detailing where Estevao is going to be playing at Chelsea.
Romano told Caught Offside:
“Chelsea were one of several clubs interested in Estevao, but in reality all of the top European clubs were very attentive to his situation.
“He was on Barcelona’s list for example, and they wanted him before Lamine Yamal started to show what an exceptional talent he is.
“For sure Chelsea believe they’ve signed a top player for the present and future, and one who they believe can play as right winger but also as a number 10.”
