Estêvão Willian Almeida de Oliveira Gonçalves (born 24 April 2007), known simply as Estêvão, is a Brazilian winger for Chelsea and the Brazil national team, widely regarded as one of the world's most exciting young talents. Nicknamed "Messinho" during his youth career at Cruzeiro, he signed a historic Nike deal at age 10 before moving to Palmeiras in 2021, where he won multiple youth titles and made his professional debut in December 2023. After scoring his first senior goal in the 2024 Copa Libertadores, Chelsea secured his transfer in June 2024 for a reported €34 million plus incentives, with Estêvão officially joining the club in August 2025. He made an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge, scoring a dramatic 95th-minute winner against Liverpool in October 2025 and becoming the youngest Chelsea player to score in the Champions League (against Ajax) at 18 years and 181 days. His remarkable form continued with a goal against Barcelona, but a serious hamstring injury in April 2026 ruled him out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Despite this setback, his rapid rise—from a prodigy dubbed "Messinho" to a record-breaking Premier League and Champions League performer—marks him as a generational talent.
