Chelsea sign Romeu


Andre Villas-Boas has added Barcelona's Oriol Romeu to his Chelsea squad.


The 19-year-old midfielder, who joins the club on a four-year deal, is the second arrival of the Villas-Boas era and will link up with his new team-mates at the end of Spain's Under-20 World Cup campaign.Reports in Barcelona have suggested Oriol has cost the Blues 5m euros (£4.35m) up front although that could eventually rise to 10m euros.The fee was agreed 11 days ago for the midfielder, who was quoted this week as saying: "Chelsea is a great option for me."Leaving Barca hurts, but you have to take your chances."His arrival at Stamford Bridge will help offset the loss of Michael Essien, who faces six months out with a serious knee injury.Speaking after the fee had been agreed, Villas-Boas said: "It is a part of the squad in which we are struggling with numbers because of Michael Essien's injury and Oriol is a player with a bright future. He still has to evolve as a player."The Barcelona B team had a magnificent year in the Spanish second division, they finished third."Oriol had an injury during the season but he came back late on and was in time to play for the first team."So he is one of the most promising young players in that position."Oriol made his first-team debut for Barca at the end of last season but head coach Pep Guardiola deemed him surplus to requirements.Chelsea have already signed Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois from Genk, immediately loaning him out to Atletico Madrid.And that is unlikely to be the end of the Blues' spending before the start of the season.
