'Bernardo Silva didn't show Joao Felix's talent at 19' - Benfica starlet tipped for superstardom

The 19-year-old will feature for the senior Portugal team in June's Nations League and a former Premier League boss sees greatness on the horizon

Joao Felix’s immense potential is incomparable to other rising stars in Portugal, according to former Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal.

The Benfica ace is one of Europe’s hottest properties right now after a spectacular season in which he scored 15 times and contributed nine assists as his team secured the Primeira Liga for the fifth time in six seasons.

Called up to the senior Portugal squad for the upcoming Nations League finals in June, which take place in his home country, the 19-year-old could line up alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
