Estevao Willian, a teenage footballer from Brazil, has accomplished a noteworthy feat by being the first player since Neymar Jr. to score 30 goals for the first squad before turning 18.
This milestone was attained by the 17-year-old Palmeiras forward against Sao Bernardo in a Paulista game. Estevao’s incredible accomplishment is comparable to Neymar’s early career accomplishments, evoking comparisons to the Brazilian icon.
On March 1, 2025, Palmeiras defeated São Bernardo 3-0 in the Campeonato Paulista, with two goals by Estêvão Willian. He scored the first goal in the sixteenth minute and the second right before halftime. In the 58th minute, José López helped score the third goal.
Palmeiras advanced to the competition’s semifinals with this victory.
With this effort, Estêvão reached a goal total of 30 (20 goals and 10 assists) with Palmeiras even before turning 18, which was a feat that only Neymar had previously accomplished.
Meanwhile, Chelsea signed him in December 2024 for a total of £56 million. After turning 18, he is scheduled to join the club in July 2025. The Blues are waiting for him, and his stellar record at Palmeiras shows that he has the ability to make an immediate impact in Europe.
Most people agree that Estevao Willian is one of the best young football players in the world. If he continues to play well for a long time, he is quite likely to follow in the footsteps of Brazil’s top forwards.
