Santos on Estevao
Andrey Santos believes new Chelsea signing Estevao Willian has “huge potential” and is “the face of Brazilian football” after striking a deal to sign the teenager.
“I spoke to Estevao, if I’m not mistaken, it was when he went to play in Colombia, I had played there the month before and he sent me a message saying, ‘man, I really admire you, how you managed to make a difference here in this climate at this altitude’, and I said, ‘man, it’s difficult but you’re going to make it’,” Santos said on the Fora do Jogo podcast.
“Estevao is a kid, I’m a fan of his. He has huge, huge, huge potential. I always spoke about him with my father, I knew he would quickly become a professional because of his quality. I see that he is a focused boy, he has a lot of personality, I think attackers have to have the personality, he is the face of Brazilian football.”
