Romeo Lavia is being chased by Liverpool and Chelsea; Reds struck a deal first but Blues have now agreed terms with Southampton over a move; Lavia made it clear he wants to join Chelsea; Blues beat Liverpool to the signing of Moises Caicedo from Brighton
The deal is worth an initial £53m plus £5m in add-ons and Lavia has been given permission to undergo a medical at Chelsea.
Liverpool had agreed a deal worth £60m with Southampton for Lavia on Sunday night, but the player has made it clear he wants to go to Chelsea.
Liverpool have already missed out on Moises Caicedo to Chelsea. The Blues signed Caicedo from Brighton worth a British record £115m. That followed Liverpool having a £111m offer accepted only for the 21-year-old to inform them he intended to join Chelsea.
