The attacking midfielder, 21, scored against Chelsea in both Champions League matches this season.

"The first step was an agreement with the club. That situation is done, no more discussions, everything is signed and done subject to the medical, that we didn't have yet and subject to the player's desire to join us or not," Jose Mourinho said.

"Now we know he wants to come."
