Chelsea are closing in on signing the talented Sporting midfielder Dário Essugo, who is currently on loan at Las Palmas.
Details. According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Essugo has already said "yes" to the move to Chelsea, and negotiations between the clubs are at an advanced stage.
Chelsea and Sporting, who hold the player's rights, are negotiating a fee of around €22 million for the 20-year-old midfielder. All parties are confident they will finalize the deal soon.
The Portuguese youth international midfielder went on loan to Las Palmas in August. This season, the Angola-born Portuguese has scored one goal in 17 La Liga appearances.
Reminder. It was previously reported that Chelsea snatched another Sporting talent, Geovani Kenda, from Manchester United.
