Chelsea are set to seal a deal for Benfica starlet Toni Brito.

The 15-year-old winger is rated very highly by the Portuguese giants - who signed him from lower league club Real Sport Massama last year.

Benfica are desperate to hang onto Brito, but the teenager has confirmed he wants to quit the Portuguese capital for London.

"I have decided to go to England," he told Ojogo.

"It will be a dream to play for a club like Chelsea."

Brito, born in Guinea, is reported to have been offered a six-year deal by Chelsea - which he is set to accept in preference to Benfica's offer to stay at the Estadio da Luz.
