Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic is tying up the formalities of a switch to Zenit St Petersburg.
Sportsmail understands the Serbian defender, 32, emptied his locker at Chelsea's Cobham training ground early yesterday ahead of a move to the Russian club.
The switch will mark the end of a nine-year, trophy laden stint at Stamford Bridge after Ivanovic became a Blues' player back in 2008.
During his time with the west London club Ivanovic has picked up a host of major honours including: two Premier League winner's medals, three FA Cups and European success in the Champions League and Europa League.
