At just 18 years old, Estevao is still getting up to speed in his debut season in English football, but he has made a positive impression so far.
Chelsea recently beat Benfica 1-0 in a Champions League match, where Mourinho was seen showing appreciation for the crowd and praising Estevao for his potential.
"Estevao is a talented player," Mourinho said. "Some people might think it would take him time to adjust to the level of competition at Chelsea due to his youth and inexperience, but he's already making a positive impact at a higher level."
Estevao made a notable appearance in the second half of the match against Benfica, completing 9 out of 12 passes, taking one shot on target, and successfully completing 3 out of 3 dribbles in just 36 minutes.
Estevao has played 326 minutes of football so far, spread across eight matches, and could potentially feature again this weekend when Chelsea hosts league leaders Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
