Latest reports coming out from Spain suggest that Chelsea have agreed terms with Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas.
According to Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the Blues want to move fast to replace legendary midfielder Frank Lampard, who confirmed he was leaving Stamford Bridge yesterday.
The newspaper, who have a good reputation with close links to Barca, claimed that the London club had reached an agreement with the former Arsenal player.
However, it was gathered that both Chelsea and Barcelona still need to agree a fee for the Spain star. It is believed Barcelona are holding out for £29.2m.
Manchester United, City and Arsenal have all been linked with the playmaker.
It is believed Chelsea aim to use the £50m fee from the sale of David Luiz to Paris St-Germain to fund the deal.
Fabregas was photographed in London last week and is now with the Spain squad preparing for the World Cup.
Mundo Deportivo claim that Fabregas' agent Darren Dein has been instrumental in bringing his client back to the Premier League.
Dein had sounded out all the big clubs to alert them Fabregas might be available after a trophyless season at the Nou Camp.
Fabregas reportedly would have preferred a move back to Arsenal but when it became clear that was not a possibility, he was eager to stay in London.
