At 19 years old, the player arrived at Alvalade in this summer transfer window on loan from Chelsea, a club that recently extended his contract until 2032. Before joining the London side, he came through Crystal Palace’s academy.

Although he only came on in the closing stages of the match, he did not hide his satisfaction at having played his first minutes in an official competition wearing the Sporting shirt. On social media, he made sure to mark the occasion and leave a message for the fans.

"A privilege to make my Liga debut for this team. It wasn’t the result we wanted, but we will keep fighting," wrote the England under-19 international, accompanying the post on Instagram with a green heart.

The winger had already shown promising signs in his first match wearing the Sporting shirt. In the Cinco Violinos Trophy, at Alvalade, the player came on against Monaco and ended up standing out by scoring the second goal in Sporting’s 2-0 victory, thus beginning to earn a place among Rui Borges’ options.
