Former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly has advised Estevao William to adapt to the speed of the Premier League if he must succeed in England.
The former Blues captain, who lifted the Champions League and FIFA World Cup during his illustrious career, shared his views after the 18-year-old forward’s brilliant start to life in West London.
“He’s a young player. He has good records. He was playing in Palmeiras, which is funny as during the Club World Cup, I think he scored against Chelsea.

“It was quite strange. But he has talent. I think he scored one goal this season, but you can tell (he has potential). But you have to take time.
“He has to adapt to the Premier League speed. He has to adapt to the Premier League impact into the system. As I had to adapt myself, the rock, when I came in England, I had to adapt to the speed, to the fighting spirit.
“So, take time, he’s been magnificent last season, you know, with Palmeiras. But the Premier League is the Premier League. You can do whatever you want. You need to adapt a little bit as a Brazilian into the system. But the talent is there and we hope he will bring that value that Chelsea is looking for.”
