Chelsea are interested in signing Palmeiras 17-year-old Esteveo Gonçalves, according to Mundo Deportivo, citing local Brazilian media.

Born in 2007, Esteveo plays as a right winger and made his first-team debut last year, and has now made 32 appearances for Palmeiras, totaling eight goals and four assists.

Chelsea are reportedly very interested in signing him and have already made an offer of 55 million euros. However, Chelsea will face competition from Barcelona. In an interview last year, Esteve said his dream was to play for Barcelona, but he is still very far from joining them.

What is certain, however, is that as one of the hottest rising stars in world soccer at the moment, there is a good chance that Esteve will follow in the footsteps of his teammate N'Derek in landing in Europe in the near future.
