According to @RJPJournamism, Chelsea have reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon midfielder Manuel Ugarte over personal terms.

He also adds that the remaining point is deal structure with Sporting Lisbon as Chelsea is reluctant to trigger termination clause in one payment and would prefer a staggered deal.

Ugarte has a £52million release clause in his Sporting Lisbon contract and is also wanted by French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

New Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly urged the club to sign the Uruguayan midfielder as he seeks to strengthen the Chelsea midfield.
