Chelsea have agreed a deal in principle to sign Sporting winger Geovany Quenda.
The 17-year-old is expected to sign a seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge with an option for an extra season after a fee of about £40m was agreed.
Chelsea have a host of options on both flanks but believe Quenda, who will not join the club until 2026, is versatile enough to play on either side and can beat defenders in one-on-one duels.
The Portugal Under-21 international has scored two goals and has eight assists in 43 matches since breaking through into the first team at Sporting.
The youngster had been linked with a move to Manchester United to reunite with his former manager Ruben Amorim.
