Chelsea well down road to stunning deal for Fulham superkid Luke Harris

Chelsea are already well down the road to signing Fulham superkid Luke Harris.

The Mirror says Chelsea have already been involved in advanced discussions with their West London neighbours as they look to make their move in the January transfer window.

A stunning deal involving an initial £25 million fee with further payments taking it to £30 million is on the cards. The teenager only signed his first professional contract earlier this month which ties him to Fulham until 2025. But his time with Fulham could be short lived with Chelsea poised to strike a deal.

Upon signing that deal, he said: "I'm really pleased to extend my time here at Fulham having been here from a young age.

"I couldn't have done it without my parents who sacrificed a lot for me, driving me away on the weekends as a young kid, so they deserve a lot of credit. I'm enjoying my football and I'm very excited for what lies ahead."
