Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria for £18 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Blues have been negotiating for the Spanish ace over the past few weeks and have eventually sealed a deal for his services.
The 28-year-old has been permitted to travel to London, and he is expected to complete his medical tests in the next 24 hours or so.
Chavarria is set to compete with Jorrel Hato for the left-back spot next term. Marc Cucurella was sold to Real Madrid earlier this summer.
The Blues are not done yet in the transfer window. They plan to make more signings after Morgan Rogers, Geovany Quenda and Marco Palestra.
A marquee midfielder could be targeted in the coming weeks if Enzo Fernandez were to leave for an elite European club soon.
The Argentine is on the radar of Manchester City, who have identified him as a potential replacement for wantaway midfielder Rodri.
