Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia has decided to join Chelsea.
Relations between the two clubs are good, so no issues are anticipated regarding an agreement.
A fee in the region of £50million plus add-ons is expected to seal the 19-year-old’s transfer.
Chelsea faced competition from Liverpool for the Belgium international, but the Anfield side are aware of Lavia’s choice.
Lavia would be joining another Liverpool target, Moises Caicedo, in moving to Stamford Bridge.
