Porto's Argentine defender, Nicolás Otamendi, is set to wear Chelsea colours next season. On the radar of several European clubs for a while now, he has been snagged by the Premier League.

Both Barcelona and Milan made a bid for him this summer, but ultimately they failed to reach an agreement with the Portuguese club.

The Portuguese outfit is now taking it as a given that Otamendi is on his way out, and will soon be reporting to Mourinho. The 'Albiceleste' international has been brought in by specific request of the former Real Madrid coach.
