Chelsea are 'close' to signing Russian wonderkid Arsen Zakharyan in a £12.6million deal, according to the 19-year-old's agent.
The Blues have already signed six players this summer including Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella. There has been a clear focus on signing young stars for the future as Thomas Tuchel looks to reshape his squad with the additions of Carney Chukwuemeka, Gabriel Slonina and Cesare Casadei.
Todd Boehly has proven he intends to back Tuchel significantly in the transfer market as Chelsea continue to pursue deals for Welsey Fofana and Anthony Gordon. The Blues have already spent in excess of £150million this summer and look set to break the £200million mark before the transfer window shuts next week.
