The Blues have continued their strategy of scouting the world's best young talent by securing Quenda for a significant £40 million fee. Although he won't officially join the squad until the summer, the Portuguese winger has been spotted at Chelsea’s training base to undergo rehabilitation for a foot injury.

Quenda has been in scintillating form for Sporting, contributing 13 goals and assists in just 22 appearances this season. New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior is reportedly a big fan of the youngster’s versatility and pace, viewing him as a key part of the club’s long-term project.

The move signals Chelsea’s intent to move away from high-priced veteran signings in favor of building a "golden generation" of talent. Supporters are eager to see if Quenda can replicate his Liga Portugal success in the more physical environment of the Premier League.
