Chelsea star Cole Palmer has shared what he said to Brazilian talent Willian Estevão after the Blues’ FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final victory over Palmeiras on Saturday.
Estevão netted Palmeiras’ lone goal in their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, a result that secured the Blues’ place in the semi-final.
The Brazilian youngster is set to officially join Chelsea after the FIFA Club World Cup later this summer.
Chelsea signed the 18-year-old winger from Palmeiras last year, though he remained with the Brazilian club following the agreement with Enzo Maresca’s side.
Speaking after Chelsea’s victory over Palmeiras, Cole Palmer revealed he told Estevão that the Premier League club is eagerly looking forward to his arrival in west London.
“Estêvão is a top player — that much is clear,” Palmer said after the match.
“I told him we’re all excited for him to join, but he didn’t understand a word I said.”
