Deco signs for Chelsea - Nice one!


Chelsea have completed the signing of Barcelona midfielder Deco, a move that has raised fresh doubts over the future of England international Frank Lampard.

The playermaker, who has won 56 caps for his adopted country Portugal, was photographed leaving Stamford Bridge earlier this evening having completing his medical and agreed personal terms with the west London club.

Although neither Chelsea nor Barca have commented publicly on the transfer, it is understood that Josep Guardiola, the new coach at the Nou Camp, had deemed Deco surplus to requirements in Catalonia, along with the likes of Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho, and that the player has signed a two-year contract that will cost Chelsea €10 million.

The deal will be new Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's first signing since he replaced Avram Grant at the Bridge .
