Porto confirmed that Chelsea would pay 20.5 million Euros for the 25-year-old Kinshasa-born Portugal international, regarded as one of the best right backs in Europe.

Premier League runners-up Chelsea have struggled at right back this season with Paulo Ferreira out of favour and Juliano Belletti making little impact since signing from Barcelona.

Manager Avram Grant has even used midfielder Michael Essien out of position on the right side of defence.
