Portuguese midfielder joins Chelsea: Chelsea have officially announced the signing of Portuguese midfielder Dario Essugo from Sporting CP on a long-term deal.
An agreement between the two clubs was reached earlier this year, with Sporting confirming that Chelsea will pay a transfer fee of €22.3 million for the 20-year-old.
Essugo has signed a contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until June 2033.
The young midfielder is expected to link up with the Chelsea squad later this month for their pre-season tour of the United States.
Last season, Essugo spent time on loan at Las Palmas, where he made 27 appearances despite the team’s relegation from La Liga. He stood out with his performances in an otherwise struggling side.

Essugo made headlines in March 2021 when he became the youngest-ever player to debut for Sporting CP, doing so at just 16 years and six days old.
He has represented Portugal at every youth level, from the under-15s to the under-21s.
His arrival at Chelsea is expected to be followed shortly by that of Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap, who has completed his medical and finalized a £30 million move.
