Neymar has sent a message to Chelsea-bound Estevao Willian after the 17-year-old broke a record he set many years ago.
The Blues officially announced the signing of the 17-year-old from Palmeiras in a £28m deal that could rise to £55m with add-ons back in May.
The forward will join Chelsea in the summer after he turns 18 and he has continued to shine in his native Brazil, making history over the weekend.
Estevao contributed a goal and an assist in Palmeiras' 5-3 win over Juventude on Sunday night.
That took his goal contributions in Brazil's Serie A this year to 18, becoming the most productive under-17 player in the league's history.

Neymar posted a message of congratulations on Instagram after Estevao broke his record
The previous record was held by Neymar, who registered 16 goals and assists while playing for Santos in 2009.
And Neymar, who has previously labelled Estevao a future 'genius', had nothing but support for his compatriot after hearing the news.
The former PSG and Barcelona star shared Estevao's Instagram post after the record-breaking game, writing: 'congratulations @estevaowillian for the broken record. May you continue to shine and enchant everyone with your soccer. Fly.'
Estevao was also performing Neymar's 'cry-baby' celebration in his post, something the 32-year-old clearly enjoyed as he acknowledged with emojis.
Monday was also a happy day for Neymar, who finally made his return to the pitch for Al-Hilal after 369 days out with an ACL injury.
The winger, who suffered the injury after playing just five games for the Saudi Pro League club he signed for in the summer of 2023, came on in the 77th minute and showed glimpses of his world renowned quality.
Estevao's performances at a young age have sent shockwaves within Brazil and is dubbed 'Messinho', which in English means 'Little Messi', although he is not a fan of the nickname.

He already has two Brazil caps to his name having played in the World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Ecuador last month.
Europe's biggest clubs all queued up for the youngster's signature during the summer, with the likes of Barcelona, Manchester City, and Paris-Saint Germain, all in a fight to land the star.
However, the lure of Chelsea proved too strong and the tricky winger decided to snub many of football's most decorated clubs in order to move to Stamford Bridge in 2025 when he turns 18.
The Premier league giants will hope Estevao follows in the footsteps of Neymar, who has gone on to establish himself as one of the best players of his generation.
