Tiago also had offers from nouveau French side Monaco and Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg but the player decided on a reunion with manager Jose Mourinho.

The news has also been confirmed by Portuguese journalist from Diario de Noticias who took to Twitter to confirm the deal.

The transfer marks the return of the player to Stamford Bridge after his unsuccessful first spell at London in the 2004/05 season before being eventually shipped off to French side Lyon.

It is believed that  Mourinho is desperate to beef up his options in his squad ahead of the coming season as he prepares to mount a title challenge with his already impressive outfit in London.
