Midfielder praises Santos’ Copinha form: “Ready to go far” | OneFootball

Santos is closely monitoring the development of another promising young talent: Kenay Martins. The 19-year-old midfielder is standing out in the Copinha. He played in all the rounds and scored in Peixe's victory over Ferroviária last Wednesday.

“I'm happy to help the team in another opportunity. The quality of the squad shows that we can go far in the Copinha. I'm motivated to show my work and eager to go far wearing the Santos jersey,” stated the Menino da Vila.

Champion of the Paulistão under-20 last season, Kenay was one of the protagonists in the title campaign. The player started in all 21 matches and scored two goals. His good performance caught the attention of the directors and also coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda.

With a release clause set at around 100 million euros (R$ 623 million) and a contract with Santos valid until 2027, the midfielder is already attracting interest from European clubs.

With Kenay on the field, Santos faces Cruzeiro in the round of 16 of the Copinha. The match will be this Friday, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Prof. Luiz Augusto de Oliveira, in São Carlos.
