Premier League side, Chelsea has signed 18-year-old Portugal Under-21 international Diego Moreira from Benfica.
Moreira joined Benfica from Standard Liege in 2020 and was part of the side that won the 2022 UEFA Youth League.
The teenage winger who featured regularly for Benfica B last season, is part of Portugal’s squad at the European Under-21 championship, where it will face England in the quarter-finals on Monday (AEST).
Moreira’s arrival on a free transfer follows on from the signings of forwards Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal and Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek has completed a permanent move to AC Milan.
Loftus-Cheek’s departure is one of several recent outgoings as new Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino overhauls his squad ahead of the start of the season.
