Portuguese international Dario Essugo was signed by Chelsea for £18 million ($25 million) on Monday.
The 20-year-old will be able to play for the Blues at the Club World Cup later this month after spending last season on loan at Las Palmas from Spain as they were relegated from La Liga.
At the age of 16, Essugo joined Sporting’s first team in March 2021, becoming the youngest player to do so through Sporting’s academy.

Initial agreements for Essugo and Geovany Quenda were reached in March.
Quenda will join Sporting for £44 million before moving to the end of the 2025/26 season.
As Chelsea close negotiations on a £30 million deal for Ipswich striker Liam Delap, their squad is expected to grow even more.
