i love this kid, the sky is the limit for him, just the kind of flair and spark we were missing since Hazard left, i hope he stays with us for a long time. What is the clause in his contract? we need to tell Real and co. to fuck off.

We don't do clause. 

He has a contract until:

Contract expires: Jun 30, 2033

They will probably convince him to get at least one extension in this period to increase his wage comparable to the other starters so probably 2034 or 2035 contract.

"Let Estevao cook, let him play!"

It's time to unleash the puppeteer

As Chelsea head into the season run in that has become very important now in the race for Champions League football, it might finally be time to just ‘let Estevao cook.’

For once, I’ll let someone else do the talking here though. One of the best strikers to ever play the game - Thierry Henry.

“Let Estevao cook, let him play. We need to enjoy this type of players in this type of games. It doesn’t have to be scripted all the time,” Thierry Henry said on CBS Sport at the weekend after the Brazilian shone.

“You wouldn’t like to play against him because he’s coming at you all the time, he’s coming at you the whole game, whether he’s having a good game or not a good game.

“He’s trying to test you all the time and see if you’re going to stop him or not.”

Yes, the old maverick-type players who are more of a rarity these days. Let them play, let them cook, let them express themselves.

Estevao is an exciting young player. When he is on the pitch at Stamford Bridge you can just feel the energy in the crowd lift. Fans get off their seats when he has the ball, this is something that doesn’t really happen with any of our other players right now. That says it all about the potential Estevao has.

I’m not against how he’s been eased into our club. I think it’s probably been smart. But in this season run in, it might now be time to hand him the keys to our UCL race.

Estevao's World Cup hopes in doubt after hamstring injury

Chelsea winger Estevao's chances of playing for Brazil at the World Cup are in doubt after he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury.

The 18-year-old was forced off during Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Manchester United after he pulled up.

Subsequent scans have confirmed a hamstring strain, ruling the teenager out of Chelsea's remaining matches this season.

But the injury raises questions over his involvement in this summer's World Cup, with Estevao a regular pick in Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil squad in the build-up to the tournament in north America.

While sources close to Estevao have told BBC Sport that he will be fit to feature in the tournament, it remains to be seen whether Ancelotti will risk selecting the winger given he may not be able to prove his fitness in time for the group stages.

Estevao was visibly upset when he left the field against Manchester United.

"He was devastated," Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior said after the match.

"He was crying at half-time. I'm really devastated for him."

Brazil face Morocco in their opening World Cup group stage match on 13 June.

It is the second time this season Estevao has suffered a hamstring injury. Captain Reece James, forward Cole Palmer and young attacker Jamie Gittens are also currently sidelined with similar issues.

The Brazilian has scored eight goals and provided four assists in 36 appearances during his maiden season at Stamford Bridge.

He joined Chelsea in the summer from Brazilian club Palmeiras for an initial £29m fee, which could rise by a further £51m through add-ons.
