Palmeiras forward Estevao Willian is in a fairly unique situation – facing the team he agreed to join a full year ago and will move to very soon.

A £29.1m deal was done a year ago but he had to wait until he turned 18 – which he has now – to move.

But Palmeiras insisted he play for them in the Club World Cup and move to the Blues afterwards.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said: “We prepare the game against Palmeiras, not against Estevao. He is a Palmeiras player that is going to play against Chelsea.

“We don’t care if in the future he will be with us. The only thing we are focused on is to do our best to try to beat Palmeiras and not to beat Estevao.”
