Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana will sign a six-year deal with Chelsea but it is the transfer fee that is really capturing attention.
The Blues have finally managed to agree a fee with the Foxes and it is not far off the £80m they received from Manchester United for Harry Maguire.
It is believed the fee agreed will be £70m.
The defender is flying to the USA to undergo a medical with Chelsea staff after he missed most of the campaign due to a fractured fibula.
Elswhere in Chelsea transfer news, Bayer Leverkusen have agreed a season-long loan deal with Chelsea for winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.
