Everton midfielder Ross Barkley, who was close to joining Chelsea during the summer transfer window, is strongly linked with a move to Chelsea and reports claim he will undergo a medical today ahead of his £15 million transfer to Chelsea.
The 24-year-old rejected a move to Stamford Bridge in the closing stages of the summer window after the Premier League champions and Everton had agreed a fee.
But he might be a Chelsea player before the end of the January transfer window, as he makes his return from a long-term injury.
Sky Sports even claim that Barkley had his medical last night and a deal could be announced before the end of the day.
