Chelsea are on the verge of securing the services of Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia.
According to Sacha Tavolieri, the player is reportedly in London, celebrating the impending move with friends. Confident signals from the player's entourage suggest that Stamford Bridge is likely to be his next destination.
The official announcement of the deal by the Blues is now awaited, although the 19-year-old has attracted interest from Liverpool as well.
However, Chelsea appears to have successfully negotiated an agreement with the Saints and convinced the young talent to join their ranks.
A previously arranged £110 million deal with Brighton for Moises Caicedo fell apart as the player chose the Londoners over Anfield.
The Blues had already secured Enzo Fernandez's signature during the January transfer window, and the acquisitions of Lavia and Caicedo would solidify their midfield options for the foreseeable future.
Given their youth, all three players are expected to develop further under the right guidance and experience. Notably, manager Mauricio Pochettino could play a pivotal role in nurturing their talents.
