It’s an easy one for the club to do because BlueCo are obviously the owners of both Chelsea and Strasbourg, who Barco currently plays for.

Rosenior worked with Barco at the French club last season, so he will know all about him and what he can bring. And the Blues boss was apparently one of the elements that convinced Barco to make the switch.

Spanish journalistAndrés Onrubia Ramos reports that Valentín Barco will play for Chelsea, with a full agreement in place for the summer.

According to him, the 21-year-old has agreed a six-year contract with the Blues.

Sport Witness follow that up and report that Liam Rosenior’s influence has again been central. The Chelsea manager worked closely with Barco at Strasbourg and is said to have played a decisive role in convincing the player to accept the move.
