Chelsea have announced the signing of Sporting winger Geovany Quenda in a deal worth £40m.
The 19-year-old has signed an eight-year contract and becomes the second arrival announced under new manager Xabi Alonso, following the £42m signing of Atalanta full-back Marco Palestra.
However, the Portugal under-21 international agreed to join Chelsea as far back as March 2025 during Enzo Maresca's 18-month spell in charge.
Quenda is expected to be part of the first-team squad and is capable of playing in a number of positions, including as a winger, attacking midfielder and wing-back.
It is understood Quenda has spent the week training at Chelsea's Cobham base despite the first-team squad not being due to return until Alonso's first session on Thursday.
