Estêvão Chelsea future under Xabi Alonso

Xabi Alonso's Chelsea might not have room for Estêvão, according to Renato Senise. The Brazilian isn't interested in shifting out wide, he sees himself as too talented for that, and doesn't want to bulk up like Pedro Neto just to fit the role. He already added significant muscle last season and is wary of gaining more, fearing it could dull his technical edge and pace. Central play is where he feels most natural. He's still fond of Chelsea and would rather stay, but if minutes don't come, a transfer in the next window isn't off the table.
