Chelsea signing wants to ‘make his mark’ – Put down a ‘personal commitment’ this season

Chelsea’s Future Star Sets Bold Season Goal

 

Chelsea’s conveyor belt of young signings keeps turning, but one name deserves a double take—Geovany Quenda, the dazzling Sporting Clube de Portugal teenager already lighting up European nights.

 

Barely into the new campaign, the 18-year-old winger is rewriting his own record book. In Sporting’s emphatic 4-1 Champions League victory over Kairat Almaty, Quenda carved through defenders for a breathtaking solo strike that sealed the win and made him the youngest Portuguese player ever to score in the competition—just 18 years, four months and 20 days old.

 

Portuguese outlets O Jogo and Record report that Quenda has pledged to “make his mark” this year, and his numbers back up the promise. He’s already matched his total goal contributions from the entire 2024/25 season and is closing in on last year’s assist tally after only seven matches.

 

What drives him? A private vow to elevate every part of his game before his scheduled move to Chelsea in 2026. He knows the bar is higher now and openly demands more of himself, pushing to increase goals, assists, and influence.

 

The football world is taking notice. Legendary striker Thierry Henry, speaking on CBS, called the teenager “fearless” and admitted he’s already a big fan: “Quenda is special. I like the way he does what he does.”

 

For Chelsea, the €50.78 million they committed this summer may soon look like a bargain. If Quenda keeps this pace, the Premier League could be welcoming not just another promising youngster, but a fully formed game-changer with the confidence—and the record—to prove it.
