CHELSEA starlet Estevao Willian was tipped for an epic rivalry with Lamine Yamal as he netted another wonder goal.
The Brazilian ace has only just turned 18 but is already being hailed as a future Ballon d’Or winner.
Estevao agreed a £28million deal to leave Palmeiras for Chelsea last summer, with the move set to be finalised this summer.
And Enzo Maresca has reportedly decided to keep the teen in his squad following an incredible run of form.
The ace struck 15 goals last year for Palmeiras and already has eight in the new term.
Estevao, already a Brazilian league title winner and four-time senior international, has a habit of netting worldies.

But his latest one saw fans gasp in amazement.
Palmeiras took on Cerro Porteno in their Copa Libertadores group stage game last night.
And it was Estevao who opened the scoring moments before half-time with an incredible left-footed howitzer from outside the box.
The shot nearly took the roof off the net as it helped Palmeiras eventually seal a 2-0 away win.

But fans were left claiming that Estevao is a one-off generational talent.
They believe he will end up being a rival to Barcelona’s 17-year-old superstar Yamal.
And some feel it could even echo the goal-fest rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
One said: “Just as we had the Messi vs CR7 era, the next big rivalry will be Estevao vs Yamal!”
Another declared: “How does he generate this much shot power?”
One noted: “Another reason we’re going to be so much better next season.”
Another added: “Best under-18 player in the world not named Yamal.”
