Head coach Enzo Maresca wants to use wingers in his system, so Chelsea have been looking for wide attackers since the Italian was hired in July. They have not just been working on what they want to do in 2025, but 2026 as well.
Chelsea want five wingers for the two roles.
Chelsea want competition for places and believe Quenda will add even more quality to what they already have, especially as he will have another season of playing in Portugalโs Primera Liga and the Champions League. He has already played more than 40 senior matches but the hope is that he will have at least 100 to his name by the time he turns up at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea want him only as a winger.
Stressing this during talks โ which were a group effort from co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart as well as Maresca โ helped convince Quenda to join. Living in or near London was another factor, while his salary fits within Chelseaโs wage structure.
He can play on both wings, but is more likely to line up on the left flank, partly because Estevao is more accustomed to the right. Chelsea are also looking to add another right-footed wide player to join the squad this summer.

โIt feels great to be here.
โChelsea is a great team and I am excited to play here at Stamford Bridge. The club has shown faith in players like me and I am proud to be here, proud to be part of this club.
โI am excited to work with my team-mates and the Manager, Xabi Alonso. I'm a very hard-working young person and I like to help my team. I want to be someone known for having the right mentality to help my team-mates and who does their best for the club to win trophies.โ
Quenda is regarded as one of the brightest talents in European football, having played a key role in Sporting winning the Portuguese league and cup Double last year. He was also named Primeira Liga Young Player of the Season in 2025 and has featured regularly for Sporting in the past two seasons, used in both attacking wide positions or at wing-back.
