London - Chelsea has acquired Portugal playmaker Deco from FC Barcelona, becoming the Premier League club's first transfer since Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was appointed manager during the European Championship.

The announcement was made on the Blues' website on Monday - a day before Scolari officially takes charge at Stamford Bridge.

Deco was pictured signing the contract with chief executive Peter Kenyon, although details of it weren't initially disclosed.

New Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said last week that Deco wasn't part of his plans for next season.
