Chelsea land another Sporting CP star! Blues agree £18.5m deal to sign teenage midfielder Dario Essugo on seven-year deal after wrapping up Geovany Quenda move

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Chelsea have agreed a transfer with Sporting for midfielder Dario Essugo on a seven-year deal, with the option of a further year. There are said to be no add-ons or sell-on clauses included in the agreement.

This comes a day after Chelsea reportedly secured the services of 17-year-old Quenda for around £42m ($54m) for next season. The Blues are already making big moves in the transfer market in preparation for 2025-26.

Essugo, 20, is currently on loan at Las Palmas. Jacobs adds that Chelsea have been watching the Portugal Under-21 international's development for 18 months and he is seen as a 'ball winner with fighting qualities'.
