According to reports in Portugal, Chelsea have won the race to sign Porto right-back Jose Bosingwa, who reportedly also interested Manchester United.

It is claimed that the 25-year-old Portugal international will sign a five-year deal with the West-Londoners in a deal said to be worth £15.8million and that the deal could be announced on Monday.

The Times says ‘Porto have been holding out for money because 20 per cent of the transfer fee needs to be paid to Rui Neno, an agent who owns a share of the player’s economic rights. Chelsea will need to take full control of the player to adhere to new Premier League rules against third-party ownership.’
