"It is understood Deco has agreed a two-year deal in West London after passing a medical and that he will cost Chelsea a fee in the region of 10million euros (£7.9m).

The 30-year-old becomes new manager Luiz Felipe Scolari's first signing, despite the fact that the Brazilian does not officially take over at Stamford Bridge until Tuesday.

A statement on Chelsea's official website said: "Chelsea football club is delighted to confirm the signing of Deco from FC Barcelona."".

Good signing? I personally think he'll struggle in the Premiership and should this signal Lampards departure to Inter Milan then Chelsea have become weaker IMO.
