Thierry Henry blown away by Sporting star’s display: I’m a huge fan | OneFootball

Thierry Henry, former French international and Arsenal legend, admitted that he is a fan of Geovany Quenda's football, a player who will head to Chelsea in the next sports season. Rui Borges' protégé stood out in Sporting's victory over Kairat Alkmaty (4-1) in the Champions League, with a great goal.

The former forward, now a commentator for CBS, showered praises while commenting on the goal scored by the 18-year-old: "I'm a big fan of him. Quenda is special. I like the way he does what he does, the way he touches the ball. I like that. He is not afraid to fail, and that's something you might expect from a youngster," Henry noted.

Geovany Quenda is on loan to Sporting until the end of this season, at which point he will complete his move to London. Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, was another Premier League club following the promising talent from the lions' academy.

After a season start where he was relegated to the bench due to Rui Borges' technical decision, the 'number 7' made his Champions League scoring debut, also becoming the youngest player ever to score in the competition, at just 18 years, four months, and 20 days.
