"Watch below as Hato said he hadn't seen anyone that good at that age, apart from perhaps Lamine Yamal ? Jorrel Hato: "Have I seen a teenager as good as Estevao? Maybe Lamine Yamal" ?? pic.twitter.com/hIXhEz5trU CaughtOffside (@caughtoffside) October 23, 2025 He was really good today again, Hato said of Estevao. Very young, he's even younger than me, but such a great player. Have I seen another teenager like this? Maybe Lamine Yamal, but I cannot name other names."
"Have Chelsea got their own Lamine Yamal? It might be a bit premature comparing Estevao to a proven world class talent like Yamal, who has already starred in a lot of top-level matches despite only turning 18 this summer. The Barcelona and Spain star has scored 28 goals in 113 games for the Barca first-team, winning La Liga twice, as well as the Copa del Rey."
Chelsea beat Ajax 5-1 at Stamford Bridge with Estevao Willian among the scorers in a youthful starting lineup. Manager Enzo Maresca made multiple changes that produced three different teenagers on the scoresheet. Jorrel Hato praised Estevao, describing him as exceptionally talented and comparing him to Lamine Yamal. Lamine Yamal's record includes 28 goals in 113 Barcelona first-team appearances, two La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey, six goals in 23 senior Spain caps, and a key role in Spain's Euro 2024 victory. Comparisons to Yamal are deemed premature given Yamal's established achievements, but Estevao has made a brilliant start at Stamford Bridge and will need time to develop.
