  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Estevao Willian is known as 'Messinho' and has already won two caps for Brazil. The teenager has been in remarkable form for Palmeiras, too, as he has scored 11 goals and registered eight assists in 37 games for the club at first-team level.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Estevao Willian's agent secured guarantees in relation to first-team football, per the report, after seeing another client, Vitor Roque, struggle to break into the starting XI at Barcelona. As a result, there is next to no chance of the Blues loaning their big-money signing out.
