Neymar has sent a congratulatory message to Chelsea's 17-year-old wonderkid Estêvão Willian after the youngster broke his longstanding record in the Brazilian Serie A.
Estêvão, currently playing for Palmeiras, surpassed Neymar's record for goal contributions in a single season by a player under the age of 18.
Estêvão achieved 18 goal contributions, beating Neymar's previous record of 16, which was set in 2009 when Neymar played for Santos.
Neymar shared his admiration for Estêvão on Instagram, writing, "Congratulations for the broken record. May you continue to shine and enchant everyone with your soccer. Fly."
Estêvão, who signed with Chelsea in June, will officially join the Premier League club in July 2025 after he turns 18. His stellar form in Brazil has made him one of the most exciting prospects ahead of his move to England.
