Chelsea are set to sign Noni Madueke from PSV Eindhoven after a big-money offer sparked the move into life.
Chelsea close in on Madueke
The Blues opened talks for the signing of the 20-year-old last week, but PSV were adamant they were not going to sell Madueke. However, according to The Athletic, there has been a breakthrough and Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal with a package worth around £35million for the former Tottenham youngster's signature.

Negotiations supposedly moved quickly on Thursday after the Premier League outfit lodged their most recent offer and PSV have accepted the proposal. Madueke can play in attacking midfield or on the wing, with Potter now spoilt for choice in attacking areas.

A lucrative summer blowout saw Chelsea fans welcome a host of stars to west London. Their transfer strategy has become even more apparent during the January window, however, with a raft of youngsters introduced to manager Graham Potter's squad.
Madueke spent three years on the books at Crystal Palace before a further four years at Spurs. He moved to the Netherlands at the age of 16 and made his PSV debut the following year, benefitting from their commitment to youth development with almost three seasons of regular football.

The youngster missed almost three months of the current campaign with an ankle injury but returned to fitness in time for the January window, which looks set to see him return to England.
Chelsea are expected to have a significant summer clear-out as a result of their recent acquisitions, with manager, Graham Potter now facing a tough balancing act.
