Chelsea Transfer News: Charles Aranguiz Joins Leverkusen, Latest Blues Rumours

Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly agreed a deal with Internacional midfielder Charles Aranguiz, ending Chelsea's link to the Chilean player.

Despite remaining a pivotal part of La Roja's squad since 2010, Aranguiz is only just on the cusp of confirming his first move to Europe at the age of 26, reported by Bundesliga writer Daniel Busch:

Leverkusen confirm they have agreed personal terms with Charles Aranguiz. Need to find an agreement with Internacional now.

Italian website Tuttomercato (h/t Telegraph Sport) previously reported Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was "interested" in adding the workhorse midfielder—who possesses excellent passing and tackling skills, as well as an eye for goal.
