    Chelsea claim to have signed "one of the brightest talents in European football" after confirming a deal for winger Geovany Quenda from Sporting Lisbon.

    The 19-year-old, who has played in a number of wide positions for Sporting and helped secure a league and couple double last season, has signed a deal until 2034.

    "It feels great to be here," the 19-year-old said. "Chelsea is a great team and I am excited to play here at Stamford Bridge. The club has shown faith in players like me and I am proud to be here, proud to be part of this club.

    "I am excited to work with my team-mates and the Manager, Xabi Alonso. I'm a very hard-working young person and I like to help my team. I want to be someone known for having the right mentality to help my team-mates and who does their best for the club to win trophies."

    The news comes as it was revealed the Blues are close to selling midfielder Andrey Santos to Manchester United.

    So are these deals good business?

    Former Brighton striker Warren Aspinall says "it's not fair" if the future of Carlos Baleba - who has previously been linked with Manchester United - becomes a distraction this summer.

    Speaking on BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast, Aspinall said: "Is Baleba going to go? We don't want that hanging over us for the next three weeks.

    "If he's going, just get rid - or get your mind set and stay with us. It's not fair for the player. It's not fair for the fans. It's not fair for the football club.

    "They'll hang on for every penny but sometimes you have to think, we know a figure and we need to let him go."

    "His mind is probably not at Brighton. It's only Manchester United coming up now, isn't it? United are in for everybody, though."
