Chelsea have reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon to sign Portuguese winger Geovany Quenda ahead of Premier League rivals Manchester United.
Quenda, 17, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford, especially since former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim left the club to take over at United.
Amorim gave the highly-rated teenager his Sporting Lisbon debut and was believed to be keen for a reunion at Manchester United.
It was even reported in January that United were close to striking a deal with Quenda, who was open to joining the club.
However, Chelsea have hijacked Manchester United’s move and are now set to win the race to sign a player who has been tipped to become one of the best in Europe and a star for the Portugal national team.
