Chelsea have agreed to sell Andre Schurrle before next week's transfer deadline.Chelsea have asked for £27 million for Schurrle, 24, and Wolfsburg have been leading the way, with Borussia Dortmund also keen.

Blues officials are quietly confident that the deal - with almost £60million exchanging hands - has moved closer in the last 24 hours.
