Geovany Quenda, Sporting player, was chosen this Wednesday, September 10th, as the best young player of last season. The award was given by the Liga Awards, which honored the player in a season where the 18-year-old made his debut for the first team.

“It is with great pride that I receive this award. I thank my teammates and Sporting. I want to share this award with the Sporting fans. Congratulations to all the winners of the gala,” said the Portuguese U-21 international – who stood out in the last match.

At the gala, which ended up being postponed due to the deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, which honors the best of last season, Rui Borges’ protégé received the award for best young player, after having won the league title twice in a row with Sporting.

Viktor Gyokeres, the Swedish striker who has since moved to England’s Arsenal, retained the award for best footballer of 2024/2025, a title he had already won the previous season. Meanwhile, Rui Borges won the award for best coach.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Geovany Quenda – valued at 45 million euros – has played in five matches, always coming on as a substitute. In the 135 minutes he has played, the club’s new number 7 has already provided two assists.
