The right-back sealed a £16.2million transfer from FC Porto to Chelsea just before the start of this summer's tournament after enjoying an extremely successful season with the runaway Super Liga champions. The 24-year-old was born in DR Congo but moved to Portugal as a child and was snapped up at a young age by Boavista. He moved on to Porto in 2003 and, after spending much of his first season with the club on the substitute's bench, benefited from Paulo Ferreira's transfer to Chelsea to make the right-back berth his own. Boswinga broke in to the Portugal side in 2007 and started the last four Euro 2008 qualifiers.
