FC Porto tie down Eduardo Ferreira after B-team debut goal | OneFootball

Eduardo Ferreira has signed his first professional contract and renewed his deal with FC Porto, the club he has represented since 2023. The 17-year-old forward tops the scoring charts in the National Under-19 Championship with 25 goals and got off the mark for the B team last Monday in a 1-1 draw against Lourosa.

A Portugal youth international, Eduardo Ferreira has already caught the attention of Francesco Farioli, who called him up to train with the first team. “Whenever that opportunity comes up, I’m a bit stunned. Training alongside the players I usually watch when I come to the stadium is a huge privilege. The first team is having a very good season and has managed to show what FC Porto is and what it means to be Porto. It’s a huge privilege to work with them and share the pitch with them,” the youngster told the club’s media, highlighting how proud he is of the progress he has made this season.

“I’ve managed to show all of my football and my abilities. This year has been very good, and the team is doing really well, which helps a lot. We’ve been working very hard, and I think my goals are the result of the whole team’s work, because I wouldn’t be able to do it alone. I think this is possibly my best season so far,” he said, also naming his main footballing role model: “My idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s a very good player with a very strong mentality, and I try to follow his example. At FC Porto, I really like Samu and also Luuk de Jong, who is a very intelligent, highly skilled player with a lot of quality.”
