Rúben Amorim Identifies Rising Star Ayden Heaven as Key First-Team Defender
In a major development for Sporting CP fans, manager Rúben Amorim has officially marked Ayden Heaven as a first-team centre-back heading into the upcoming season. The decision comes after a string of eye-catching performances from the young defender during preseason training.
Heaven, who has steadily climbed through the youth ranks, is now being hailed as one of the club’s most promising prospects. According to sources close to the club, Amorim has been particularly impressed with the youngster’s blistering speed, athletic prowess, and an unusual level of defensive maturity for his age.
“He’s fast, composed, and reads the game like someone far beyond his years,” said a source within the coaching staff. “Ayden gives us a different dynamic at the back.”
This marks a significant vote of confidence from Amorim, who is known for his willingness to integrate young talent into the senior squad. Heaven’s inclusion in the first-team plans adds further excitement to an already ambitious Sporting side, aiming to challenge for both domestic and European honors this season.
Fans will be eager to see whether Heaven can translate his potential into consistent top-level performances but one thing’s clear: the manager believes he’s ready.
