Chelsea have signed Dastan Satpayev to become one of the brightest stars of his generation.
Estevao already raising eyebrows
Chelsea have been asked about their strategy of filling their squad with young players for quite a while now. Whilst it is far too early to reach any conclusions, early signs show they might have actually got something special.
Estevao, a Brazilian forward they picked up from Palmeiras, is already looking like a player who could add a spark to the PL in the next few years. His record in Brazil certainly stands out. With goals, assists, and a rising reputation from the European heavyweights who were waiting to sign him.
Since linking up with Enzo Maresca’s setup, the teenager has shown flashes of pure class. There are whispers that he could be a Ballon d’Or contender one day. For Chelsea, getting Estevao on board feels like a win that could shape their future.
Dastan Satpayev sparks new excitement at Chelsea
Chelsea didn’t stop there. They secured the signing of Dastan Satpayev from Kairat Almaty, another teenage forward with a great potential. At just 17-years-old, this player has already played in the UCL, scored against world-class players, and has demonstrated he can comfortably compete at that level.
This season, he has scored eight goals and provided thirteen assists, one of the reasons scouts rave about his mentality, saying he is fearless and that his impact could even compare to Lamine Yamal.
He cannot officially join the Chelsea squad until he turns 18, in August. However, there are strong indications already about what could come next. If Satpayev keeps this pace, he could be pushing to stand among the very best in Europe.
Author’s Opinion:
Chelsea’s move on youth has drawn criticism, but in Estevao and Satpayev, they might have struck gold. Both are raw, fearless, and hungry, and if even one of them fulfills the hype, the Blues’ future looks frightening.
