Chelsea have made a fast start to the summer by confirming the arrival of centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo, 26, on a free transfer.
The Blues are yet to complete any further deals.
Tosin Adarabioyo has revealed details of his conversations with two Chelsea players before joining the club
It has been reported in the media for some time that Palmeiras teenager Estevao Willian is close to signing for Chelsea.
If he does join, he will become the latest in a long line of talented South American youngsters to sign for Stamford Bridge.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano announced his approval and will join the Blues in 2025 after his 18th birthday.
Chelsea are understood to be ready to pay Brazilian giants Palmeiras a deal worth up to €65m (£55m) if all add-ons are met.
🔵🇧🇷 Chelsea and Palmeiras are set to review the documents for Willian Estevão this weekend to help seal his deal.
◉ €40m fixed fee.
◉ €20m for easy add-ons.
◉ €5m for difficult add-ons.
◉ Contract until June 2032.
◉ Medical tests completed.
Estevao’s move to Chelsea has been rumoured for weeks. Hopefully the clubs can finalise it and make an announcement.
Journalist Eduardo Burgos claims the deal is “practically done”.
Blues fans had better get used to this patience as they won’t be able to see him in action in England until 2025
We doubt Premier League viewers know too much about Estevao, but Chelsea fans who have been following this ongoing transfer saga will be a little more familiar
Estevao, 17, is a highly skilled right-winger who has broken into the Palmeiras first team and is now making an impact. He has four goals and three assists in 23 senior games so far.
It will certainly be interesting to see how the Brazilian forward develops over the next year.
