French International and As Monaco defender Axel Disasi is on the verge of joining Chelsea after a fee of around £38million was agreed between the two teams.
The Frenchman will complete his medical tests this week before official statement from the club is made.
Chelsea had to sign a new centre-back for Mauricio Pochettino after Wesley Fofana got an injury that is going to sideline him for a while.
The 25-year-old Frenchman has been on the radar of Manchester United and Newcastle united but both teams did not submit any official bid to acquire his services.
