Estêvão Willian Shines Again as Brazil’s Teenage Sensation Hits Five in Five

Brazilian wonderkid Estêvão Willian continued his extraordinary international form on Tuesday night, scoring his fifth goal in as many starts for the senior Seleção in a 1-1 draw against Tunisia in a friendly played in Paris.

The 18-year-old Palmeiras forward, who will join Chelsea in the summer of 2026 after a €61 million transfer agreed last year, calmly converted a second-half penalty to equalise after Tunisia had taken the lead through Hannibal Mejbri. The spot-kick marked another milestone for the player already regarded as one of world football’s brightest prospects.

Since making his full Brazil debut in October, Estêvão has now scored in every appearance: against Senegal, Bolivia, Peru, South Korea, and now Tunisia. His rapid integration into Dorival Júnior’s side has been remarkable, with the teenager regularly preferred ahead of established names in attacking areas.

At club level, the São Paulo-born attacker has contributed one goal and one assist in limited minutes this season, but his explosive performances for Brazil have further heightened anticipation surrounding his upcoming move to Stamford Bridge.With his blend of pace, technique, and composure, Estêvão is increasingly seen as the natural successor to Brazil’s golden generation of attacking talent.
