Arsenal planning sneaky 11th-hour bid for Brazilian sensation on Chelsea radar

Arsenal are plotting to hijack a deal for Chelsea target Estevao Willian

Chelsea and Arsenal are set to lock horns in the transfer market as they both eye a move for Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian this summer. The 17-year-old sensation, dubbed ‘Messinho’ for his mesmerizing performances at Palmeiras, has attracted attention from top clubs across Europe.

The Blues have been keenly monitoring Willian’s progress and are eager to secure his signature before any other club swoops in. However, their local rivals Arsenal have emerged as serious contenders in the race for the talented youngster.

Reports from Brazilian outlet UOL (h/t Football.London), suggest that Arsenal have initiated discussions with Palmeiras, signaling their intent to hijack Chelsea’s pursuit of Willian. The Gunners, currently locked in a title battle with Manchester City, view the young prodigy as a valuable addition to their squad as they aim to challenge for silverware next season.

The 17-year-old sensation has been turning heads with his performances at Palmeiras, earning him the nickname ‘Messinho’ and attracting attention from top clubs across Europe. Despite already making 18 appearances in all competitions, Willian’s potential is still untapped, making him a highly sought-after prospect.

While Chelsea seemed to have a clear path to securing Willian’s signature after Barcelona withdrew from the race, Arsenal has emerged as a formidable challenger in the pursuit of the young star. Both London clubs are eager to bolster their squads with fresh talent, and Willian fits the bill perfectly with his skill and potential.

With Barcelona out of the picture, the stage is set for a showdown between Chelsea and Arsenal for the signature of Willian. As the race heats up, the outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure – both clubs are determined to secure the services of this rising star.

Arsenal join Chelsea for Estevao Willian.

At just 17 years old, Willian has already made a significant impact at Palmeiras, earning himself the moniker ‘Messinho’ and catching the attention of top clubs across Europe. His exceptional talent and maturity on the field have positioned him as a future star in the world of football.

Chelsea’s interest in signing Willian is not new, and their willingness to invest in the young Brazilian talent speaks volumes about his potential.
