Guedes has made 13 appearances in all competitions for Benfica. In those 13 games, he Portuguese Under 21 international has scored four goals and created a further four for his teammates.
Predominantly playing from the right wing, Guedes has helped guide Benfica to 4th place in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and his performances have attracted the interest of a number of clubs across the continent.
