Chelsea have agreed to sign Bertrand Traore on a four-and-a-half-year contract after impressing during the summer tour to Asia.
The attacking midfielder, a Burkina Faso international with 10 caps, joins from Association Jeunes Espoirs De Bobo-Dioulasso.
The 18-year-old starred in three of the Blues' tour games and scored in both Indonesia and Malaysia, impressing enough to sign a long-term deal.
But it's not been an easy agreement as Chelsea had to wait until the player turned 18 and also until he got a work permit.
Mourinho said in the summer: “We want to keep him. Sooner or later the committee has to give him a work permit to play in England.
‘’If he goes on loan somewhere, he has to go, but if he’s playing for his country at the same time – one of the most important countries in African football – he’ll get his deserved permit.’’
Traore's deal runs until 2018.
