Chelsea have agreed a fee with Sporting CP for midfielder Dario Essugo. A fee of £18.5million ($23.9m) has been agreed for the 20-year-old, with no add-ons or sell-on clauses included as part of the deal.

Chelsea are already making strides in the transfer market despite there being months left for the summer window to officially begin — having made moves to sign Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo. It seems like Chelsea have no plans to steer clear from their transfer policy of signing some of the most exciting youngsters playing in Europe — with Quenda just being just 17 and Essugo being 20 as well.

Sporting CP midfielder Dario Essugo has said 'yes' to a transfer to Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Blues are getting their business done early. It is only March and Chelsea are on the verge of wrapping up their second signing following Friday's news of an agreement to bring in Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP.

Chelsea agree an £18.5m fee to sign Sporting midfielder Dario Essugo, who is currently on loan at Las Palmas in La Liga.

Chelsea have landed a major transfer coup this week, which is reported to have left Premier League rivals Manchester United ‘stunned’.

Chelsea have been somewhat of a merry-go-round off the pitch in the last couple of years, so it will come as no surprise to Premier League fans that the Blues have already been active in the market before the summer window opens.
