£57m Chelsea target has medical as transfer coup gets closer

The Metro are among the publications claiming that Jorginho is undergoing his medical at Chelsea.

This means his signing is just hours away, with all the contractual and transfer elements of the deal already squared away.

The deal will cost £57m according to that paper, with compensation for Maurizio Sarri adding more to that sum immediately.

The two will arrive together at Stamford Bridge at some point in the next few days to begin a new era.

While losing Antonio Conte has been a slow and painful process, at least this double acquisition has given the whole of the club a big injection of hope ahead of the rapidly approaching new season.

If he was indeed in London in recent days to sign paperwork, and has also now had a medical, there can’t be much longer to wait before the deal is official.

It’s taken us some time to get our first transfer completed, but at least it’s a big one.
