London Football reported that Chelsea has informed 18-year-old Kunda that he will enter the club's first team next season.
Chelsea reached an agreement with Sporting CP in March to sign the 18-year-old Portuguese winger for 40 million pounds. Kunda will continue to develop in Portugal this season and is scheduled to officially join the Blues in the summer of 2026 to prepare for the 2026-27 season.
Kunda's career started with anecdotes about wearing jeans to training, then moved to Benfica, and finally emerged at Sporting CP. He broke many records, including surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo to become the youngest goalscorer in the Portuguese Super League and the youngest goalscorer in the Champions League for Sporting CP. His assist data in one season was even better than the debut seasons of legends such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo and Nani.
Although Manchester United was also interested in introducing him, Chelsea was the first to finalize the deal. In order to adapt to the Premier League, Kunda is actively preparing through high-intensity English courses and muscle training, and has already inspected Chelsea games on site.
Although the team has many young talents such as Esteban, Palmer, Neto, and new players Ganaccio and Gittens, and the competition is fierce, this versatile winger and No. 10 player is confident of success at Stamford Bridge and aspires to become one of the top players in the world.
