Premier League big spenders Chelsea are back in the market, this time for the best talent in Brazil.
The transfer window is close and as always Chelsea are getting active as they look to improve Mauricio Pochettino's squad ahead of next season.
The Blues are reportedly set to complete the signing of Palmeiras prodigy Estevao Willian for a fee in the region of €60m (£51.4m).
Estevao Willian to Chelsea
The 17-year-old winger is regarded as one of the best talents in Brazil and Chelsea were determined to land him this summer.
The deal will involve an initial payment of €34m, with add-ons potentially raising the total sum to just over €60m.
This transaction will make Estevao, also known as Messinho, the most expensive teenage player from South America to date.
This move by Chelsea reflects their strategy of actively pursuing the world's top young talent.
It serves as a response to their previous disappointment in failing to secure another Palmeiras teenager, Endrick, who instead chose to join Real Madrid.
