Chelsea's focus on bringing young talent to Stamford Bridge this summer is set to continue, with Thomas Tuchel's side 'close' to signing Russian wonderkid Arsen Zakharyan.
The Blues have spent over £150 million on six players so far this summer, and Chelsea are soon set to make it seven, with the 19-year-old's agent, Pavel Andreev, confirming Zakharyan is close to signing for the Blues. All summer, Tuchel has made it a priority to sign players for the future this summer, with youngsters Carney Chukwuemeka, Gabriel Slonina and Cesare Casadei having signed already.
The deal for the Dinamo Moscow forward is set to cost £12.6m according to his agent, and with deals for Wesley Fofana and Anthony Gordon still in the works, the Blues could potentially be spending around £300m in total this summer. Zakharyan has already made over 50 appearances for Dinamo Moscow and has broken into the Russian first team, despite only turning 19 in May.
