Sporting Lisbon has revitalized the career of Luís Guilherme, a young talent previously struggling to find his footing in English football. In just over a month since joining the club, the Brazilian forward has begun to showcase the promise that once marked him as a standout prospect.
Luís Guilherme is quickly becoming a significant asset for Sporting, adapting rapidly and impressing the coaching staff with his understanding and execution of Rui Borges’s tactics. Following his performance in Moreira de Cónegos, sources confirm that the manager has reinforced his positive assessment of the player, who had previously been overlooked in the Premier League – appearing in only 5 matches for West Ham during the 2025/26 season. Sporting secured his services in January with a transfer fee of €14 million, plus an additional €3 million contingent on performance-based objectives. The potential he displayed while playing under Portuguese manager Abel Ferreira at Palmeiras is now translating into tangible results with his new club, following a less successful stint in England.
