He has the skill set to become an elite winger.<\/p>\n<p>Estevao is direct, a terrific dribbler and capable finisher. He has not hit prolific form at Chelsea yet, but some of his finishes have been sensational.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian scored a great goal against Barcelona in the Champions League last season, while his strike against Chelsea in the Club World Cup was very Sergio Aguero-esque.
