AC Milan keeper Diego Lopez close to Chelsea deal

AC Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez is set to join Chelsea.

The Mirror says Lopez is expected to join Chelsea from AC Milan in the next few days as backup to first choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The Blues are looking to add the 34-year-old stopper to their ranks, which will more than likely spell the end of Asmir Begovic's stay at Stamford Bridge.

Lopez joined Milan from Real Madrid in 2014, but only made eight league appearances last season.
