Chelsea Confirms £40m Transfer of Geovany Quenda

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has played a key role in securing the signing of 17-year-old Geovany Quenda from Sporting Lisbon for £40m, though he will remain in Portugal until 2026. As Chelsea navigates injuries to key players like Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke, Maresca is expected to welcome them back after the international break to strengthen the squad ahead of an important match against Tottenham. The team has been adapting their attacking setup during the absence of Jackson, showcasing the impact of injuries on their recent performance. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez expressed disappointment over the team's performance against Arsenal, emphasizing the need to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League. With a packed schedule ahead, including crucial league and Conference League matches, Maresca faces a pivotal period to turn the team's fortunes around. Despite recent criticisms, his involvement in both transfers and tactical adjustments highlights his growing influence at Chelsea.
