Cole Palmer Shares What He Told Future Chelsea Teammate Willian Estevão After Club World Cup Win
Chelsea star Cole Palmer has revealed a lighthearted moment he shared with Brazilian youngster Willian Estevão following the Blues’ 2-1 FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final victory over Palmeiras on Saturday.
Estevão scored Palmeiras’ only goal in the match, but Chelsea secured the win to advance to the semi-finals. The 18-year-old winger, who Chelsea signed from Palmeiras last year, is set to officially join the club after the tournament.
Palmer, speaking after the game, said he told Estevão that the Premier League side is excited to welcome him to Chelsea—although the Brazilian didn’t quite catch what he said.
“Estêvão is a top player, we all can see that,” Palmer said.
“I told him that we are excited for him to join, but he did not understand a single word I said.”
