The English side officially confirmed the signing of a long-term contract with talented winger Geovani Quenda from Sporting Lisbon. This move aligns with the club’s long-term strategy of nurturing young talent.
According to Goal.com, the 19-year-old footballer has signed an eight-year deal with the aristocrats, running until 2034. It is reported that Chelsea paid 50 million euros to the Portuguese club for this transfer.
Quenda is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young players, capable of operating effectively both as a winger and a wing-back. Having emerged in the Portuguese championship, the player made six appearances for Sporting, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists.
Notably, his performances last season drew attention from specialists. He played a significant role in helping his team win the league and the cup, achieving a golden double.
During his time at the club, the young talent also managed to set several records. He became the youngest player in Sporting’s history to score on his debut.
Furthermore, Quenda entered the history books as the youngest Portuguese player to score in the Champions League.
After the transfer, the player did not hide his excitement, expressing pride at joining a major club and eagerly anticipating his debut at Stamford Bridge.
Quenda emphasized his readiness to develop further under the guidance of new head coach Xabi Alonso. According to him, his main tasks are to help the team win new trophies and to unleash his full potential on the pitch.
The young winger has not only represented Chelsea at club level but has also been called up to Portugal’s youth national team, earning a place in the symbolic squad of the European Championship. Chelsea’s recent policy of rejuvenating the squad means that the arrival of such a technically gifted and quick player will undoubtedly intensify competition in the English Premier League.
Now, the Portuguese winger aims to continue his international success with the London club.
