Reports📰: Chelsea🔵 Closing in on Golovin Signing✍

Chelsea are nearing their first signing of the summer after making progress in a meeting with Russia star Aleksandr Golovin's agent, as per reports.


As reported by Goal, Juventus had made a €20 million (£18m/$23m) offer for the CKSA Moscow man and appeared to be in pole position for his signature but the Blues have since stolen a march on the Serie A champions.

The Blues, who are owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, have assured CSKA that they will get closer to their €30m (£27m/$35m) asking price for their star man.

Golovin, 22, has been one of the revelations of the 2018 World Cup, impressing in Russia's opening two fixtures in the group stages to help the host nation through to a last-16 meeting with Spain.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are still yet to clarify their managerial situation for next season, but feel confident that they will land Maurizio Sarri and want to provide the ex-Napoli boss with new additions to the playing staff.
