Estevao reveals how he is preparing for imminent Chelsea transfer | OneFootball

Brazil wonderkid Estevao has admitted that he can't wait to complete his summer transfer to Chelsea.

The fleet-footed teenager agreed to head to Stamford Bridge from Palmeiras last year, but has to wait until he's turned 18 to actually make the move because of regulations in his homeland. Estevao will celebrate his milestone birthday next month and can then link up his with new club in the summer.

"All the time, I'm very anxious to go," Estevao revealed to YouTube channel Denilson Show.

The youngster, who was handed a senior Brazil debut last September but did not feature in the recent World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina, added that he's been asking for advice from his international team-mates that already play in the Premier League.

"They come and talk to me, give me tips. Murillo, Savinho...I ask them how this is, how that is," he said. "These things are important for getting there to have less difficulty in adapting."

Even with such keenness to get started with Chelsea, it is believed that Estevao will continue to represent Palmeiras at the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States.

FIFA has granted leagues with representatives competing in the first ever expanded 32-team version of the tournament special dispensation to register new players in a one-off mini transfer window from 1-10 June. But although Chelsea are involved, Estevao will make the switch after.

Several Brazilian clubs fancy their chances of doing well in the competition, Palmeiras among them. They have been drawn into a group with Porto, designated 'host' team Inter Miami, and Egypt's Al Ahly, which presents a potentially favourable route into the knockout stages. But a likely last 16 tie against either Paris Saint-Germain or Atletico Madrid could make it difficult to go further.

Chelsea are yet to know the full identity of their group. The Blues are to face Flamengo and Esperance de Tunis, but Mexican side Leon were expelled from the competition earlier this month over violations of FIFA's multi-club ownership rules. A replacement is yet to be named.
