New Chelsea wonderkid breaks promise and swaps shirts with Messi at half-time

Brazilian Wonderkid Estevao managed to get the shirts of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez after playing against Inter Miami at the Club World Cup. Estevao was part of the side of Palmeiras who pulled 2-2 with Miami in Florida and he left the hard rock stage with two dawners.

Palmeiras came down from 2-0 to score two late goals and to secure the top position in their group. Their comeback meant a last 16 draw against colleague Brazilian side Botafogo, instead of a much more difficult game against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.

Tadeo Allende and Suarez put the side of Javier Mascherano in control before Paulinho and Mauricio returned to Palmeiras. Estevao played the entire game on the wing in front of his side and liked it against legends such as Messi, Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

The 18-year-old will join Chelsea after the World Cup Club, after the blues corresponded to a deal that could reach £ 49 million. He gets the best from his last games for Palmeiras, but could not control his excitement to meet his youth hero Messi.

Estevao spoke about his love for the Argentina great for the game, but just couldn't wait to get hold of Messi's shirt. He was filmed to exchange sweaters and share a hug with the Miami Vooruit in the tunnel during the break.

That early exchange let him do this again with Suarez after the last whistle. Estevao later shared his loot with his 3 million followers on Instagram.
