Chelsea set to make contact to sign Manchester United star in the January window!!</h2><p>Fabrizio Romano revealed that <a href="https://chelsea.news/2025/02/chelsea-romano-dastan-satpaev-transfer/" target="_blank">Chelsea are very excited</a> about signing youngster Dastan Satpaev and he is getting the similar hype that Estevao Willian was getting before he joined Chelsea.</p><p>This of course came after <a href="https://chelsea.news/2025/02/official-romano-satpaev-chelsea/" target="_blank">Romano gave the ‘here we go’</a> on the deal and confirmed that Chelsea were signing the forward from Kairat Almaty in Kazakhstan.</p><p>So, there is no doubt that Chelsea have got another gem arriving here, and now he is being compared to the legend of football that is Cristiano Ronaldo, which is truly quite the compliment.</p><h2>Satpaev compared to Ronaldo</h2><img height="764" src="https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_chelsea_news_articles_133/d05a810a9fcd07871c219847a5da2179" width="1290" data-uuid="1f662fae-66b6-3990-9bb7-92494cf121ca"><p>Dastan Satpaev in action for Kazakhstan’s youth teams.</p><p>Kazakhstan midfielder Askhat Tagybergen <a href="https://x.com/Blue_Footy/status/1990169777126740439?s=20" target="_blank">said this week</a>:</p><p>“Dastan [Satpaev] is very calm, and a top-level professional — I haven’t seen professionals like him since Cristiano Ronaldo.”</p><p>I’m not sure if the word ‘calm’ can be associated with Ronaldo! But I get what the player is saying here for sure. Although I’m always reluctant to throw any major pressure on young players arriving in the Premier League from a foreign league. It’s such a big move for them, not all of them will handle it as well as Estevao has.</p><h2>The talent is there</h2><p>But there is no doubt at all that the talent is there for Satpeav and he has the world at his feet when he arrives at Chelsea.</p><p>Hopefully he just keeps his head down and continues to work hard and improve as a player and as a person.</p>)
