De Bruyne closes in on Chelsea move

Kevin De Bruyne will sign for Chelsea this week, in a deal worth around 2.5m GBP. The Genk midfielder will arrive at Stamford Bridge tomorrow to discuss personal terms.

It is understood that De Bruyne will join the Blues now and then return to Genk for the season, on a loan deal.

De Bruyne said of his imminent transfer: “Maybe by the by the end of the month a deal can be sorted out, because that would be a good thing for all three parties - and if there is an agreement with Chelsea, I would certainly spend another year at Genk."
