Kinshasa-born Portugal international Jose Bosingwa has agreed to move from Porto to Chelsea on a three-year deal, said the Premiership club on Monday.
"Jose Bosingwa has agreed terms with Chelsea Football Club. He has agreed a three-year contract," said a statement on the website of the London club, which was edged by Manchester United to miss the England top flight title last weekend.
Porto said on their website on Sunday that Chelsea would pay 20.5 million euros (about 31.75 million U.S. dollars) for the 25-year-old defender, regarded as one of the best right backs in Europe.
"I always had a dream to play in England and Chelsea is a club where I can prove myself and improve as a player," said Bosingwa in an interview with Chelsea TV.
Chelsea have struggled at right back this season with Paulo Ferreira out of favor and Juliano Belletti making little impact since signing from Barcelona.
Bosingwa joined Porto from Boavista in 2003 and will complete his move to Chelsea after the European Championship Finals.
