Even if they have received many criticisms for this over the years, Chelsea’s transfer policy has enabled them to build a team full of exceptionally talented young people.
The club may not be ready to challenge for a title of Premier League this season, but in the coming years, because their young people are becoming more and more comfortable, they could be a real strength in all competitions.
Estevao, who was sensational against Liverpool, one of the players who seems to be a real superstar for the western Londoners.
However, Chelsea has already got their hands on another incredible perspective that could end up being a bigger talent than the 18 -year -old.
Estevao’s brilliant performance against Liverpool
It must be said that the brilliant display of Estevao against Liverpool on the weekend was not so much a surprise for the Fans of Chelsea and those who watched them this season.
After all, when he had not scored before the match, he had made a few impressive cameos of the bench against Crystal Palace and Benfica.
In addition, during his first departure for the club, against West Ham United, he was almost unplayable and, thanks to a silky movement and technical brilliance, provided his first assist for Joao Pedro.
However, even then, it cannot be denied that his efforts against the Arne Slot team seemed much more significant and as a real declaration to the rest of the League.
He came in the 75th minute, but once he was on the ground, it was impossible to ignore him.
Admittedly, a large part of what he tried did not really get out for him, but the fact that he tried three dribbles played two key passes and was correct in two of his three crosses in just over 20 minutes of action is extremely impressive.
He made the life of Andy Robertson miserable in the last moments of the game, then, thanks to his conscience and his positioning, was in the right place at the right time to bring the winner back to the house.
Daniel Sturridge summed up well after the match when he said that the jewel of adolescence “appeared and was absolutely the highest draw”.
In all, Estevao seems intended to reach the top of the game, but Chelsea has already signed another sensational perspective which could well be an even greater talent.
Chelsea’s biggest talent than Estevao
In good news for Chelsea fans, there are a few truly exciting young people who are preparing to join the team next summer, notably Denner, Geovany Quenda and Kenry Paez.
However, with regard to someone who could be a greater talent than Estevao, only one name comes to mind: Dastan Satpayev.
The Blues concluded an agreement for striker Kazakhstani in February, but as he was 16 at the time and is now 17 years old, he had to wait another season before being able to move in western London.
However, it may not be such a bad thing, because he got a lot of time with Kairat Almaty in recent campaigns and made the impression.
For example, in 27 appearances last season, totaling 1908 minutes, the young phenomenon scored 13 goals and provided seven assists, which comes from a sensational average of an attack on a goal every 1.35 games, or every 95.4 minutes.

So far this season, AS born in Almaty has scored three goals and has provided a decisive pass in nine games, seven of which have been qualified for the Champions League, the other two being in the competition proper.
The media threshing surrounding the attacker is not a joke, with an analyst going so far as to call him “a future winning golden ball” and, as if it were not sufficient pressure, “a future rival of Lamine Yamal”.
Finally, the 17 -year -old is not only impressive at the club level, but also on the international scene.
After producing five goal involvement in ten games for the Kazakhstan U17 team, then made an appearance for the U21, he has already won five senior caps, two of which came against Wales.
In the end, Estevao is the man of the moment and seems to be intended for greatness, but it seems that Satpayev will follow a very similar path in a year and could even exceed it.
