Regardless of what Chelsea have promised, Estevao is not going to be the team’s main No campaign.
While he may get a game or two there, Maresca is almost certain to stick with Cole Palmer for that position. He is one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League, perhaps the best despite his recent dip in form.
For as talented as Estevao is, he cannot just come in and demand to start in the position that is currently being occupied by Chelsea’s top player.
He may also be needed on the right if Madueke picks up another injury, with neither Sancho nor Pedro Neto fully convincing there this term.
Neto did score an excellent goal against Arsenal from the right half-space earlier in the season, but since then his best performances have come up top.
