Chelsea near completion of striker deal

Chelsea near completion of striker deal

18 January 2017 - 06:29

Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford is reportedly on the verge of sealing a £10m to former side Middlesbrough. The 23-year-old spent a solitary season with Boro on loan during the 2014-15 campaign.

  • Gary Neville breaks silence on Ruben Amorim
  • Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Estevao absent

  • Bamford was recently recalled from his temporary spell at Burnley after having failed to make a single start under Sean Dyche across all competitions.

    According to Sky Sports News, a deal have settled between both the Blues and Boro, and the move will go through once the player has a successful medical on Teesside.

    Bamford netted 19 goals for Boro during their promotion chase two years ago, and this remains his best goalscoring tally for a single season. He was also named the Championship Player of the Year for the campaign.

    Middlesbrough will cough up an initial £6m upfront for Bamford with a remaining £4m to be adjusted based on his performances.

    The deal would represent a good business for Chelsea, who bought the player for a mere £1.5m from Nottingham Forest in January 2012.
