For as talented as he is, unfortunately for Estevao Willian, there is no room for him in Chelsea\u2019s starting XI at the moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues<\/a> currently have an attack of Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers, which many already consider to be the best frontline in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

The trio caused more havoc over the weekend, with both Palmer and Pedro scoring in Chelsea\u2019s 4-3 win against Brighton & Hove Albion, while Rogers was able to register an assist. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What have you made of Chelsea\u2019s style of play under Xabi Alonso? \u26bd\ufe0f<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Chelsea won\u2019t sell Estevao Willian to Liverpool or any other club<\/h2>\n

Rumours have now emerged linking Estevao to Liverpool, but if any supporters of the Merseyside club were hoping to see the Brazilian at Anfield, they are going to be left feeling disappointed.<\/p>\n

Journalist Simon Phillips has reported on Si Phillis Talks Chelsea<\/a> that Liverpool\u2019s Premier League rivals will not sell Estevao to them or any other outfit this summer.<\/p>\n

That is not a shock, as Chelsea have always viewed Estevao as \u201cuntouchable\u201d<\/a> alongside the likes of Palmer and Pedro.<\/p>\n

Estevao did at least get a run-out in the Carabao Cup<\/a> last week and played a big role in Chelsea\u2019s second goal against Luton Town in their 2-0 win.<\/p>\n

The reality is, though, Estevao is unlikely to be a starter this season if Xabi Alonso<\/a> continues to use a 3-4-2-1 formation, which seems very probable.<\/p>\n

Chelsea may need to loan out Estevao<\/h2>\n

An Estevao sale would not go down well among the Chelsea fan base. The winger is still, for many, a generational talent, and at 19, he has his whole future ahead of him.<\/p>\n

Last season, Estevao already proved that he can play and perform at this level after scoring against Barcelona and Liverpool.<\/p>\n

But for the sake of his development, Estevao may need at least one loan before he can fully break into Chelsea\u2019s starting XI. His situation is one to keep an eye on between now and the next transfer window.<\/p>\n
