Telles previously played at Galatasaray before joining Porto for just £7.5 million. The Lions did however included a sell-on fee clause on the deal.

The Lions will receive 10 percent of the transfer fee which could be in the region of £3.6 million seeing that Telles is valued at £36 million by Transfermarkt.

Telles played a total of 39 games for Galatasaray during his two-year stay at the Istanbul based club.

The attacking full-back won two Turkish Cups, a Super Cup and a Super Lig title.

The 27-year-old has racked up an impressive nine assists and two goals in 39 appearances for Porto from left-back this season.
