Enzo Maresca and Cole Palmer are thrilled about Estevao joining Chelsea. Estevao recently scored a remarkable goal against Chelsea in the Club World Cup, where Chelsea defeated Palmeiras 2-1. After the tournament, Estevao will officially become part of Chelsea's squad. Maresca's team is set to face Fluminense in the semi-finals. Estevao's performance made him the second-youngest scorer in this year's competition, highlighting his immense potential.

Maresca expressed his delight over both the victory and Estevao's goal, describing it as a perfect night. "I'm happy because we won and also happy because Estevao scored, the perfect night," he said. He praised Estevao as a fantastic player with great talent. However, Maresca acknowledged that adapting to a new environment is crucial for players coming from different parts of the world. He assured that Chelsea would support Estevao in this transition.

Palmer, who netted Chelsea's first goal, had a brief chat with Estevao after the match. "You can see he is a top player, so it is very exciting," Palmer remarked about Estevao, who had eight touches inside Chelsea's box, more than any other Palmeiras player. Despite their conversation being hindered by language barriers, Palmer conveyed their eagerness for Estevao to join.

Estevao expressed mixed emotions about leaving Palmeiras but is eager to play in the Premier League. "Palmeiras opened the door for me. I was deeply happy in Palmeiras and my family knows how happy I was," he shared. Scoring a goal for Palmeiras brought him joy despite not achieving their desired result.

Chelsea recognises Estevao as a significant addition to their team due to his impressive skills and potential. The club is committed to helping him adjust smoothly to life in England and believes he will make an important contribution on the field.
