Estêvão has thus broken the record for most points scored at the age of 17 in the Série A. The previous record holder was Neymar, who scored 16 points during his time at Santos FC. By comparison, Neymar needed 33 games, while Estêvão achieved the record in 24 games.

Next season, the left-footer will move to Chelsea FC for a transfer fee of €34m.

Despite his young age, Estêvão has already made two appearances for Brazil.
