\"Oriol Oriol Romeu would boost Chelsea’s midfield in Michael Essien’s absence<\/span> <\/p>\n

Chelsea have reached agreement with Barcelona to sign defensive midfielder Oriol Romeu.<\/p>\n

Manager Andre Villas-Boas confirmed the news at a press conference in Bangkok, where Chelsea are on a pre-season tour.<\/p>\n

Personal terms for the 19-year-old – who two first-team appearances for the Catalan club last season – have yet to be agreed.<\/p>\n

Romeu, currently with Spain ahead of the Under-20 World Cup, will also need to pass a medical to complete his move.<\/p>\n

No details of the fee have been announced by the club, although some reports have suggested it is around the \u00a34.5m mark.<\/p>\n

Despite making his Barcelona debut last season, he was not part of manager Pep Guardiola’s long-term plans at the Nou Camp.<\/p>\n

The European champions already have Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets in their midfield.<\/p>\n

Villa-Boas will hope that he can boost Chelsea’s midfield, which will be without Michael Essien for six months<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Ghana international, 28, ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus during pre-season training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
