Estevao Willian left one rival manager stunned on Sunday evening, after the 17-year-old forward, who will move to Chelsea next year, produced a moment of magic during Palmeiras' 2-0 victory against Bahia.
The forward has been impressing many throughout the footballing world, having now scored 11 goals this season for Palmeiras across all competitions, including two sensational strikes in his last two Serie A matches.
Chelsea officially announced that the Brazilian youngster would be joining the Blues from Palmeiras in June in a £28million deal that will not see the right winger move to the west London club until he turns 18 in April next year.
Following the announcement, excitement has been growing among some Chelsea fans online, with many claiming that they have signed the next big thing, having seen the Palmeiras forward's highlights from this season go viral.
Estevao shocked many on social media after he scored a wonderful solo goal during Palmeiras' 2-2 draw against Gremio last week but returned to continue his record of scoring epic strikes on Sunday against Bahia.

It had seemed that both sides would go into half-time level at 0-0, but moments before the referee blew his whistle, Estevao would break free on the counter at lightning speed when advancing towards the Bahia goal.
He evaded one opposition defender before curling a stunning left-footed strike into the top corner of the goal.
In fact, his goal was so good, he left Bahia manager Rogerio Ceni looking disillusioned on the touchline, with the manager shrugging his shoulders saying: 'You can't f***ing mark this guy', according to Selecao Talk on X.
The 17-year-old would also set up his side's second goal of the match, sliding in a brilliant pass to Rony, who lashed home to seal the 2-0 victory.
Chelsea fans have once again been left in awe of their new signing, with one supporter reacting to the clip of the goal as they said: 'Who tf did we just sign.'
Another added: 'My word what did we buy.'

One fan compared the right winger to Real Madrid's new signing and former Palmeiras star, Endrick, as they said: 'Seen more good clips of this guy [Estevao] than Endrick.'
Estaveo is now the 13th teenager to be signed by Chelsea since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took charge of the club back in 2022.
It comes after the Blues also announced the acquisition of 18-year-old forward Marc Guiu from Barcelona at the beginning of the month in a £5m deal.
