What would Luis Guilherme add to the clubs interested in him?
Aged 17, Luis Guilherme has played in 24 games so far this season for Palmerias. Despite this, the youngest has yet to score a goal in the current campaign and has just a single assist to his name.
He can play function as both an attacking midfielder and a right winger. As a naturally left-footed player, he may be best suited to playing on the right-hand side of midfield, as this will allow him to cut inside on his preferred foot [via Transfermarkt].
What does Estevao have to offer?
Unlike Guilherme, Estevao is something of an unknown quantity. He has still yet to make his first team debut for Palmerias, playing exclusively for their U20s team - but nevertheless, he is still a very highly regarded talent.

Hide AdAt the age of just 16, Estevao is the younger of the two. An adaptable attacking player, he can play on the right wing, the left wing and as a number ten.
Estevao, given his lack of experience in first-team football, will be a riskier signing than Guilherme. He has plenty of potential in the modern game, but he has yet to display a Premier League level of quality.
