Chelsea Sign Bosingwa

Avram Grant was desperate to bring in a new right-sided defender as he was reportedly unhappy with the current options available at Stamford Bridge for this position.
O Jogo says the two clubs concurred on a €20 million deal yesterday, suggesting that the deal will be formally announced on Monday.

Even as Bosingwa was being widely tipped for a move to Manchester United, Chelsea were working behind the scenes in their attempt to lure the 25-year-old into their ranks, and quickly gathered the fee Porto were requesting - something United were not keen on.

What is more, the Blues managed to prevent their domestic rivals from knowing about their approach, making sure the Red Devils did not have time to burst into action.

The Portuguese international is expected to face stiff competition for a place in the starting XI from compatriot Paulo Ferreira and Brazilian Juliano Belletti, although one of them will reportedly leave the club in the summer.

Bosingwa joined Porto from Boavista in 2003 and has cemented his position as Jesualdo Ferreira's first choice in the right side of the defence since Ferreira departed for the London-based club.




Huntelaar Keen On United Move, Says Agent

24-year-old striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar has been linked with a move to an elite league, with his agent hinting at Old Trafford as a possible destination.

The Dutchman has finished top-scorer in the Netherlands for two of the last three seasons and the starlet is frequently tipped to seek an elite club to showcase his talents.

Ajax have spoken this week about their desire to extend the hitman's contract, but rumours linking him with a summer departure persist. Barcelona lead the club's reportedly monitoring his situation, with his price-tag rumoured to be £16million.

Huntelaar's agent Arnold Oosterveer told the Daily Express: "Klaas could make the step up to a top-level club in Europe this summer. He likes English football and watches the Premier League.

"Of course he would love to join United. He wants to make the next step."
