Estevao Willian, a young Brazilian talent, opted for Chelsea over several suitors due to the club's promise of using him in a central, attacking midfield role. His agent, Andre Cury, emphasized this flexibility as a decisive factor amidst significant interest from clubs like Arsenal, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. Despite Estevao's current position as a winger at Palmeiras, Cury believes that his true potential lies in playing centrally. Chelsea's track record of acquiring young talents played a crucial role in Estevao’s decision, aligning with the club's ambitions under new ownership.
"It was the only club that saw us as No 10, to play in midfield," Estevao's agent Cury told O Globo. "I may be wrong, but we will have the opportunity."
"In my opinion, on my team he plays as a ten," the agent added. "They like to put him on the wing. I think it's too narrow for a player of that quality."
