Chelsea have reached an agreement with Palmeiras to sign Brazilian forward Estevao Willian, according to Sky Sports. The 18-year-old is expected to move to Stamford Bridge on a long-term contract this summer.

The deal adds one of Brazil’s most closely watched young attackers to Chelsea’s squad plans as the club continues its recent push to invest in emerging talent. Estevao has drawn attention for his attacking threat and potential at senior level.

Palmeiras will now lose a highly rated prospect, while Chelsea add another young player to their recruitment pipeline. Further details of the transfer were not included in the report.
