Chelsea’s latest signing, Willian Estevão, has set his sights on a specific shirt number as he prepares to make his mark at Stamford Bridge.

The highly-rated 17-year-old forward, who currently plays for Brazilian club Palmeiras, will officially join the London side in the summer of 2025 once he turns 18.

Estevão, widely regarded as one of Brazil’s most promising young talents, was secured by Chelsea for an initial fee of €34 million.

The deal could rise further with performance-related add-ons, demonstrating the club’s confidence in his potential.

His contract will keep him with the Blues until 2033, signaling a long-term investment in his development.

Rio Ferdinand has urged Manchester United to go for Victor Osimhen over Viktor Gyokeres as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season.

United are on the hunt for a reliable goal scorer after a disappointing campaign that saw them finish 15th on the table, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling to deliver up front. The team also fell short in Europe, losing to Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League final.

While Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres had an impressive season—netting 39 goals and adding eight assists to help his side win the Portuguese league—Ferdinand believes Osimhen would be a better fit at Old Trafford.

Speaking with The Mirror, the former United defender said, “Gyokeres is in great form and people are excited about him. But if I had to choose between him and Osimhen right now, I’d go with Osimhen because of his experience at the top level.”

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has taken a light jab at Cristiano Ronaldo while praising Lionel Messi as one of the best players in football history. Speaking with talkSPORT, the former Argentina striker highlighted Messi’s impact at Inter Miami, saying the club had little to celebrate before the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner joined.

Aguero said, “It’s a big deal for Inter Miami, especially with Leo there. Even if it hurts some Ronaldo fans, Messi is one of those players everyone wants to watch.”

He pointed out that since Messi arrived, Inter Miami has lifted trophies they had never won before, including the MLS title in 2023 and the Supporters’ Shield in 2024. In contrast, Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has only managed to win the Arab Club Champions Cup since joining the team.
