00:00Chelsea fans have had quite a rollercoaster in recent months after sneaking into the Champions League spots on the final day of the Premier League season.
00:10The Blues backed it up with continental success by winning the UEFA Conference League final against Real Betis.
00:19That victory gave them a significant boost heading into the Club World Cup.
00:24In the stateside competition, Chelsea once again lifted silverware, well gold technically, after defeating the newly crowned European champions Paris Saint-Germain with an emphatic 3-0 victory in New Jersey.
00:39That win sparked fresh excitement among the Chelsea faithful ahead of the new Premier League season, with some even daring to suggest that Enzo Maresca's side could challenge for the title.
00:50While it might be a bold claim, Chelsea's hopes seem to rest heavily on the promising performances of Estevão.
00:58The 18-year-old Brazilian, freshly signed from Palimeras, impressed Stamford Bridge fans during the pre-season friendly against Bayer Leverkusen.
01:08Thrown straight into the deep end, Estevão responded by scoring the opening goal of the game.
01:14Even before kick-off, former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank was quick to praise the youngster, comparing him to club legend Eden Hazard.
01:25After the match, Hasselbank continued to rave about Estevão's start, praising his directness, passing and off-the-ball movement.
01:33He highlighted the budding connection between Estevão and Cole Palmer, who has also spoken highly of the young forward.
01:40Palmer was particularly impressed after they faced off at the Club World Cup, noting Estevão's ability to read the game and create chances.
01:51If Maresca can regularly field this dynamic duo together, they could form one of the Premier League's most exciting attacking partnerships in the coming seasons.
02:02Chelsea fans have every right to be hopeful with the blend of youth and experience.
02:07The Blues look well-placed to build momentum and challenge the top teams in England once again.
