Estevao, who joined Chelsea from Palmeiras this summer, has shown promise in his early games. He has started four of the five Premier League matches he has played and provided one assist in a 5-1 win over West Ham. There are discussions about Estevao potentially changing positions from a right winger to a more central role.

Maresca believes that Estevao's path could be similar to Palmer's. He notes that Palmer started as a winger but gradually moved to a more central position. To take this step, however, Estevao will need to improve his physical fitness, according to Maresca.

Maresca points out that the Premier League is a challenging league, and players need to be physically prepared to play in the middle. He sees Estevao as someone who can develop in this way, just like Palmer did.
