Some massive breaking news this afternoon Chelsea fans, and news you will surely all absolutely love to hear.
It’s sort of come from nowhere, although not really nowhere as we have been linked with him all transfer window, and during previous transfer windows. But the fact that all of a sudden it has gone from interest in him to being very close to agreeing a fee and personal terms to sign him.
Sources on Chelsea’s pursuit of Raphael Leao, Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski, and Paulo Dybala.
I am of course speaking about Napoli centre back Kalidou Koulibaly, who Chelsea are now closing in on signing.
And in terms of sources, you can keep the excitement going because it is David Ornstein of The Athletic who is reporting it being close, and during these stages of transfer deals, you don’t get much more reliable than Ornstein, if at all.
He reiterates it is not a done deal yet, but it is still progressing and advancing, and has really heated up today.
