Chelsea’s new teenage sensation, Geovany Quenda, made headlines after an explosive performance for Portugal U21 in their UEFA U21 European Championship opener. The 18-year-old winger scored two goals and provided an assist—all within the first 30 minutes—in a dominant 5–0 win over Poland.
Quenda, who is set to join Chelsea officially in 2026 after completing another season with Sporting CP, showed exactly why the Premier League club invested over £43 million in securing his signature. His first goal came in the 16th minute with a calm finish from close range, followed by a second in the 24th—demonstrating sharp movement and clinical poise. By the 30th minute, Quenda assisted Henrique Araújo with a precise through ball to make it 3–0.
Although subbed off before halftime (reportedly to preserve him for later matches), Quenda had already wrapped up Man of the Match honors and left fans buzzing across Europe.

Quenda’s explosive pace, technical dribbling, and decision-making stood out, reinforcing his reputation as one of Europe's brightest young wingers.
Signed ahead of major European rivals, including Manchester United, Quenda is viewed as a long-term attacking investment for Chelsea. With performances like this, he’s proving he may be Premier League-ready sooner than expected.
If he continues this form through the tournament, Quenda could arrive at Stamford Bridge in 2026 as a polished, elite winger ready to shine in blue.
Geovany Quenda’s explosive start for Portugal U21 highlights why Chelsea secured his signature early. With elite technical skill, goal-scoring instinct, and creative flair, he’s already showcasing world-class potential. If he maintains this level, Quenda could become a future star at Stamford Bridge and a key figure in Chelsea’s attacking rebuild.
