Chelsea have already lined up their next signing after Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has agreed terms on a move to Stamford Bridge.
The two Premier League clubs are now working out the final details of an expected £45million transfer. And Thomas Tuchel has been keen in persuading the England international to move to the Blues as they beat off competition from Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain and Liverpool to land his signature.
Once the move is all wrapped up the Blues will reportedly move on to the signing of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes. Meanwhile former Chelsea star Charly Musonda has gone AWOL after earning contract at new club Zulte Waregem in the Belgian top-flight side.
