Chelsea, Sporting CP and Jesse Derry
Wednesday
Chelsea winger Jesse Derry is close to joining Sporting CP on a season-long loan after signing a new long-term contract. The 19-year-old is expected to move without a purchase option and undergo a medical in Lisbon.
Chelsea moved quickly to protect Derry’s future after interest from Bayern Munich and other clubs. Sporting offer Champions League exposure and senior minutes, while Chelsea also bring Geovany Quenda in the opposite direction this summer.
