Estêvão didn’t think twice about how to celebrate his move to Chelsea. As soon as he had signed from Palmeiras in a deal that could top £51m, the Brazilian decided to honour Cole Palmer and usher in what could be a new era for the English club.
“When I signed for Chelsea, the next day I scored a goal and celebrated like Palmer. His celebration was trend, very popular,” says Estêvão before discussing his first interaction with the England forward. “We talked on social media, I tagged him on Instagram, he called me a star, I said he’s a star too. He said we’re going to do a lot of great things together for Chelsea.”
