Chelsea also want Dario Essugo from Sporting

Chelsea have flown under the radar to agree a shock deal worth about €50m (£42.1m) for the Sporting winger Geovany Quenda, who was a target for Manchester United.

The 17-year-old attacker played for Ruben Amorim at the Lisbon club and was widely expected to link up with his former manager at Old Trafford. But Chelsea have swooped in, with sources saying Quenda will move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2026.
