Chelsea are finalising a deal for Marseille fullback Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Daily Star says the Blues are also poised to confirm the signing of Marseille right-back Azpilicueta, possibly as early as today, for around £7m.

Following the departure of Jose Bosingwa, the 22-year-old Spaniard will provide competition for Branislav Ivanovic, who prefers to play in central defense.
