Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has warned Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso that Estevao will be a problem for him at Stamford Bridge.

Gerrard, a former England midfielder, thinks the Brazilian could make it tough for Alonso to pick his team once Joao Pedro is back from injury in the coming days.

Alonso gave Estevao his first Premier League start of the season against Manchester United last weekend.

The young winger was excellent in Chelsea's 2-0 win over the Red Devils.

Speaking on The Overlap, Gerrard praised the player.

"He is exciting and great to watch," he said.

Gerrard added that Estevao is eager to impress the manager.

"He is going to give Xabi Alonso a problem when Joao Pedro comes back, because Pedro Neto is a great player as well."
