Chelsea have completed the double signing of Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo from Sporting Lisbon, agreeing a combined fee of around £62.5 million ($81 million) for the pair.

The Portuguese club announced the deals late on Wednesday, confirming 17-year-old winger Quenda would join the Blues for just under £44 million and Essugo for £18.5 million.

Versatile winger Quenda, who had previously been linked with his former manager Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, will remain with Sporting until the end of next season before making the move to Stamford Bridge.

Defensive midfielder Essugo, 20, will complete the current campaign on loan at La Liga side Las Palmas before heading to London.

The signings continue Chelsea’s policy of signing young talent—Brazilian forward Estevao Willian and Ecuadorian Kendry Paez, both 17, will be joining the club ahead of next season.
