Deal Close: Chelsea met with player's agent last week, Spaniard all set for transfer

With Asmir Begovic all set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, Chelsea are moving quickly to replace him with AC Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez.

The Serie A giants have no short of options in the goalkeeping department and they are set to allow shot-stopper Diego Lopez to join Chelsea.

According to reports from Gazzetta World, Chelsea have shown a strong interest in the Spanish goalkeeper and met with the player’s agent last week to finalise a deal.

Begovic did a decent job last season but new manager Antonio Conte is looking for a solid backup to Belgium star Thibaut Courtois and has identified Lopez as a perfect candidate.
