Estevao Willian’s good start to life at Chelsea has brought excitement among fans, but club icon John Terry is calling for measured expectations as the young Brazilian continues his development.
After a rather long transfer saga involving several top European clubs, the 21-year-old winger finally landed at Stamford Bridge—and he’s wasted no time making an impression. With a string of eye catching performances and a growing goal tally, Estevao has quickly become a fan favorite and a key figure in Chelsea’s attacking setup.
His influence has extended beyond club football, too. During the recent international break, Estevao emerged as one of Brazil’s standout players, further cementing his rising status on the global stage.
John Terry, however, while full of praise, emphasized the importance of patience. Describing Estevao as a “breath of fresh air” and a “superstar” in the making, the former Chelsea captain acknowledged the winger’s raw talent and physical presence but urged supporters to give him time to grow.
“He’s been fantastic for us already at such a young age,” Terry said. “The supporters love him. I think he’s one we’ve got to be a little bit patient with, but he’s an absolute superstar, and I think he’s going to be a world-class player.”
Terry also highlighted Estevao’s fearless playing style his strength, aggression, and confrontational edge as traits that resonate with Chelsea’s identity. “He’s showing a little bit of proper Chels in him as well,” he added.
Despite the recent media attention, Terry cautioned that consistent starts won’t come overnight. Under manager Enzo Maresca, the club is taking a long-term view, confident that with the right guidance and steady integration, Estevao could evolve into one of the world’s elite talents by his mid-20s.
