Pedro Sousa highlights another Benfica gem: is there anyone better | OneFootball

Pedro Sousa mentioned that José Mourinho has another promising talent in his sights. According to the journalist, the Special One is closely following the development of Eduardo Fernandes, a winger who has been shining in the youth ranks of Benfica. The footballer might follow the same path as Rodrigo Rêgo.

"[José] Mourinho has been integrating several young players. The other day he introduced Rodrigo Rêgo, remember, in the game at Restelo, against Atlético. Yesterday [Thursday, November 27], he included four players in the main team's training", Pedro Sousa began to say, highlighting the Special One's focus on young talent.

"Remember that on Tuesday, after the game and victory in Amsterdam, he said he had spent, or gained, the afternoon watching the Youth League. Benfica thrashed Ajax away and one of the young players is named Eduardo Fernandes", revealed the journalist from Record.

"He is only 18 years old, a winger (...) In the Youth League, he is Benfica's standout player, with four games, five goals, and one assist. Could there be better? Perhaps, but this is the one whose potential has been identified by José Mourinho", Pedro Sousa explained.

"He was already in the main team's training yesterday [November 27], along with three others. But he is one of those players Mourinho referred to: 'I am watching and paying attention'. He is a very interesting player", concluded Pedro Sousa, highlighting the Special One's focus, as was the case with Rodrigo Rêgo.
