According to a new claim from Football Fancast, Liverpool “have contacted the representatives” of Estevao, as they attempt to “convince the winger to ditch contract talks at Chelsea.” The Reds have “already sent their scouts to watch him in action”, but the Blues are trying their best to tie the 19-year-old down to a contract extension, even though his current deal doesn’t expire until 2033. I’m excited for his Chelsea career I think he’ll go on an upward trajectory.

He needs more game time soon which I think he’s going to get. I think rotation will be important as the season goes on.” Like Salah, Estevao is at his best on the right wing, where he can cut inside and be a huge threat on his left foot, combining pace and ever-improving end product.

At 19, he has already scored five goals in just 11 caps for Brazil, as well as eight and four assists in 41 appearances in a Chelsea shirt, which is a solid return given his tender years. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
