About the player
Telmo Arcanjo came up through the youth ranks at Sporting CP and Belenenses before joining CD Tondela, where he made his professional debut in a Primeira Liga match against Gil Vicente.
That form took him to Vitória SC on a four-year contract. He has also featured in European competition through the Conference League.
Born in Lisbon, Arcanjo built his international career with Cape Verde rather than Portugal, starting at Under-19 level before making his senior debut against Senegal. His first goal for the senior side came against Libya in World Cup qualifying, a match that finished 3-3. He was named in Cape Verde's squad for the 2026 World Cup and came off the bench in the group-stage game against Spain, his first appearance on that stage.
