Chelsea's deal for Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina remains on.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement to sign goalkeeper Slonina from the Fire.

Romano tweeted that a £10m deal had been agreed upon after new Blues owner Todd Boehly met with the MLS club himself.

The 18-year-old stopper will remain at Chicago on loan as part of the transfer, and is considered one for the future.

Wolves and Real Madrid had been linked with the USA U20 international, but Boehly's involvement appears to have been key to Chelsea winning the race.
