Chelsea agree £50MILLION+ Joao Pedro transfer as Brighton star set to link straight up with Club World Cup squad in USA

The Athletic’s David Ornstein says a medical has been set up ahead of the move being rubber-stamped.

And it suggests Blues’ boss Enzo Maresca is far from finished when it comes to summer spending.
Apart from £30million Ipswich targetman Delap, Chelseas have also brought in Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr.
