Chelsea have agreed a fee with Southampton for midfielder Romeo Lavia.

The Belgian will move to Chelsea for a fee of £53m up front plus £5m in bonuses.

Liverpool are said to have offered £60m earlier this week, but Lavia rejected the move.

The 19 year-old is set to undergo his medical with Chelsea later on Wednesday.

Saints won't receive all of Lavia's fee as former club Manchester City are due a 20 per cent cut.
