Barcelona are considering a loan move for Chelsea winger Estevao Willian in the January transfer window, according to Diario Sport.

The Catalan club are monitoring the 19-year-old’s situation at Stamford Bridge, where he has had limited opportunities since the start of the season.

Estevao is reported to be considering asking Chelsea to allow him to leave on loan in January. Barcelona are ready to explore that possibility, with the club’s sporting director having rated the Brazilian prospect highly for some time.

Estevao has made eight appearances for Chelsea in all competitions this season but has yet to register a goal or an assist.
