Chelsea to announce Tiago transfer

Chelsea are expected to announce the arrival of Portuguese midfielder Tiago Mendes from Atletico Madrid later on in the week. The move will be an emotional return for Tiago, who played at Stamford Bridge in 2004.

Jose Mourinho had reportedly been looking to bring Tiago back to the Blues last season, but the 33-year-old had been told by Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone that he would be important for the club's plans in the 2013-2014 season.

Tiago will sign a two year contract at Chelsea and will cost around 1.5 million Euros.
