But another Palmeiras player caught the eye of a traditional European power thanks to his play in the U.S., as Richard Rios is drawing the attention of another Club World Cup participant in Inter Milan, according to calciomercato.com.

The Brazilian media sang the Chelsea-bound winger’s praises after the game. Brazilian outlet GE Globo gave Estevao a rating of 7 out of 10 for his efforts on the night, while the public score was 6.4 out of 10.

Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira conceded on Thursday that his side faced an uphill battle in Friday’s Club World Cup quarter-final against Chelsea, with their teenage winger Estevao in a unique position as he prepares to move to the European giants.
