On Tuesday, we covered claims from Belgium that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Southampton for Roméo Lavia’s transfer.
It was also stated he has been in London since the weekend to complete a move to the Bridge, waiting for the two clubs to sort out the last details of the operation.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri took to Twitter to explain the midfielder returned to Belgium on Monday after finding an agreement with Chelsea.
He was waiting for the Blues to sort out the final details of the agreement with Southampton yesterday. That seems to have been resolved as Tavolieri claims the 19-year-old is set to fly from Brussels to London at 10am (11am Brussels time) today.
The journalist states the Belgium international will have his Chelsea medical today and then sign a contract before his move to Stamford Bridge is made official.
Chelsea have already completed Moisés Caicedo’s signing and with Lavia’s addition, Mauricio Pochettino will have more quality options in midfield.
Earlier today, Tavolieri explained Liverpool’s dithering convinced the player to snub them in favour of a move to Chelsea.
