Chelsea Set to Reward Estevao Willian with New Deal Despite Limited Playing Time

Chelsea are reportedly ready to hand Brazilian winger Estevao Willian a new contract, despite the 19-year-old struggling for regular minutes under manager Xabi Alonso. Signed for £51.6 million, the youngster is already tied down to a long-term deal running until the summer of 2033.

Having registered 8 goals and 4 assists across 36 appearances in the 2025/26 season, Estevao has found it difficult to break into the starting XI, logging just 29 minutes in the Premier League across five substitute appearances this term. While currently behind Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and Pedro Neto in the pecking order—mostly starting in domestic cups—the club is still keen on offering him improved terms.
