Chelsea look set to sign Germany winger Andre Schurrle after finally agreeing a deal with Bayer Leverkusen.
The 22-year-old is set to become the Blues’ first signing of the summer, and comes after months of speculation surrounding a possible switch to Stamford Bridge.
, but reports in Leverkusen claim they have finally got their man after striking a deal this week.
It’s thought that a fee of around £20million has been shaken hands on,
Chelsea have already opened talks with Schurrle over a contract, with a five-year-deal worth around £90,000-a-week in the pipeline.
The move comes after his representatives were wooed with the VIP treatment for Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, that helped convince the player to move to England.
The Blues, who have no manager in place for next season, opted to do business based on a recommendation by technical director Michael Emenalo, who is Roman Abramovich’s right-hand man.
Schurrle’s arrival will kick-start a reshuffle at Stamford Bridge, with the likes of Michael Essien, Florent Malouda, Yossi Benayoun, Ross Turnbull, Paulo Ferreira and even Frank Lampard all set to depart.
