Chelsea are expected to agree a deal with Inter Milan for striker Romelu Lukaku in the next 24 hours.
They are believed to be offering £95million plus add-ons for the 28-year-old after a bid of £85m plus left back Marcos Alonso was rejected.
Earlier Inter set Chelsea a deadline of Sunday to complete a deal, with the Belgium international informing Inter boss Simone Inzaghi he was keen to go back to Stamford Bridge for a second spell.
Chelsea are prepared to make Lukaku one of the Premier League’s top earners with a basic salary of more than £350,000 a week.
