José Bosingwa Bio

A speedy and solid full-back who has made quite an impression in FC Porto's colours in the last few years, it was no surprise when one of Europe's big names made a move to sign this DR Congo-born star in the summer of 2008.
Chelsea eventually won the race for his signature, though the reported fee of £16.2m was inflated by Manchester United's interest in a position which has been troublesome for both of England's leading clubs. .
He started his career as a midfielder, but has proved to be more effective in a reserved role though defending could not be said to be his strong point.
He showed signs of his undoubted talent at Euro 2008 before being culpable defensively in Portugal's exit from the tournament.
