New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior is going to have a talented group of wingers to work with next season, including Geovany Quenda.<\/p>\n

Rosenior has officially replaced Enzo Maresca<\/a> in the Stamford Bridge<\/a> dugout and will get the chance to work with Quenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Sporting Lisbon star is not the only exciting wide man Rosenior<\/a> will have in his arsenal.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> also have Pedro Neto, Estevao Willian, Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens.<\/p>\n

Who is Chelsea\u2019s best winger? <\/p>\n

Quenda is currently at Cobham<\/a>, but Rosenior will not get the opportunity to use the 18-year-old until next season.<\/p>\n

According to football.london<\/a>, Sporting have given Quenda permission to be at Chelsea but only to do his rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese had to undergo surgery after injuring his right foot and is still in the process of recovering.<\/p>\n

Quenda was on fire for Sporting in the Champions League<\/a> before his operation. In five appearances, he scored two goals and provided two assists.<\/p>\n

As things stand, there are no plans for Chelsea to bring Quenda\u2019s transfer forward<\/a>, meaning that Rosenior will have to make do with Neto, Estevao, Garnacho and Gittens.<\/p>\n

Rosenior will not be able to keep Quenda, Neto, Estevao, Garnacho and Gittens all happy. That is five players for two positions.<\/p>\n

Is the Garnacho transfer working out? \ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n

Garnacho for Chelsea, the numbers don\u2019t jump out.. <\/p>\n

Quenda could always go out on loan, but the Portugal Under-21 international looks ready for Chelsea\u2019s first team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The more likely scenario is perhaps Chelsea selling Neto. Last summer, they offloaded Noni Madueke, which made space for Estevao in their squad. It would not be a shock if the Blues did something similar with Quenda and Neto.<\/p>\n

Quenda could have a first-team role under Rosenior next season, while Neto could be sold. In June 2025, it was claimed that Saudi Pro League clubs were interested in Neto<\/a>, so a move to Saudi Arabia could be possible.<\/p>\n

Neto has arguably been Chelsea\u2019s best attacker this term, so it is a big decision that the Conference League<\/a> holders may have to make this summer. <\/p>\n
