FC Kairat’s Dastan Satpayev is one of the most promising Chelsea wonderkids of all. Signed almost out of nowhere on a pre-agreement the youngster has been a major part of Kairat reaching the Champions League group phase, a historic occasion for the side from Kazakhstan. His on-field play and clinical ability in front of goal make him one of the highest-potential strikers in the title.

4. Geovany Quenda

Officially not yet a Blues player, Geovany Quenda will join in the summer of 2026. Since the move was announced earlier in 2025 the winger has seen his stock fly through the roof thanks to impressive performances for Portugal’s youth team and Sporting’s senior team. In this year’s edition, he is considered to have the same ceiling as Yankuba Minteh, Ethan Mbappe, and others.

3. Alejandro Garnacho

Just about falling into the conditions to be a wonderkid, Alejandro Garnacho is understandably one of the most promising wingers in the game after being a first team regular for Manchester United for a few years. He will, by the game’s potential rating, be just below the best of the best wingers in world football.

2. Jamie Gittens

Joining from Borussia Dortmund with a lot of buzz Jamie Gittens is projected to be one of the best wingers in Football Manager. Only Kenan Yildiz is considered to be on his level on the left, beating out a tonne of prospects like Jeremy Monga, Mikey Moore, and Malick Fofana among others.

1. Estevao

Last but not least, we have one of the best wonderkids in the entire game. Very few players have the potential highs of Estevao with his rating being equalled by only Lamine Yamal, Endrick, and Ayyoub Bouaddi. We all have seen Estevao’s talents especially after his game-winner over Liverpool. The hype is there, the talent is there, and he stakes his claim as the best Chelsea wonderkid of them all.
