Chelsea have agreed on a plan for signing game winner Geovany Quenda.
The 17 -year -old is expected to sign a seven -year contract at Stamford Bridge with an option for an additional season after a fee of about $ 40m is accepted.
Chelsea have many options on the rest of the board but believe Qundenda, who does not join the club until 2026, is strong enough to play on both sides and will be a touching option, the ability to beat defenders in one-one duels.
Portugal under 21s has scored two goals and has eight assistants in 43 matches since breaking the first team in Sporting.
The teenager was also joined to move to Manchester United to reunite with his former manager Ruben Amorim.
