Sporting prodigy makes bold change to catch Premier League giant’s eye | OneFootball

Since this is his last season at Sporting, Geovany Quenda is making the most of his time. The Lions’ prodigy has been putting in extra hours with the goal of improving his finishing, using specific exercises for that purpose, so he can head to Chelsea with his aim sharpened.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, the young Portuguese player is focused on consolidating this aspect of his game this season—he recently spoke about Sporting’s debut in the Champions League. Despite a promising start in terms of assists (three in six games), the Lions’ number 7 wants to increase his goal tally—considering he has only scored three times in 2024/25.

Quenda believes this could be a decisive improvement for his game, already looking ahead to the future—that is, when he moves to London to play for Chelsea next season. The same source adds that the Premier League club has been closely monitoring his performances, but without ‘interfering’ in the player’s process.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geovany Quenda—valued at 45 million euros—has played in six matches, five as a substitute and one as a starter. In 225 minutes on the pitch, the new ‘number 7’ of the Alvalade club already has three assists.

Sporting will return to the field on Thursday, September 18, against Kairat Almaty. The match against the team led by Rafael Urazbakhtin, valid for the first round of the Champions League, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade and is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 pm.
