Another to make the move from Portugal to Chelsea with Jose Mourinho but Tiago didn't come via Porto like most of his compatriots. The goalscoring midfielder impressed Mourinho from a distance at Benfica and arrived at Stamford Bridge for £8million in the summer of 2004. His first season in the Premiership was regarded as a success so it was something of a surprise when he was allowed to leave for Lyon when Michael Essien moved in the opposite direction. A reliable and determined midfielder who is renowned for his accurate shots from distance.
