Wigan Athletic are closing in on a loan deal for Chelsea teenager Reece Walsh, according to BBC News.
The 17-year-old is set to sign an improved contract at Stamford Bridge before heading out on what would be his first taste of senior football, joining the League One side on loan for the season.
Details of the agreement are still being finalised, but BBC News reports the move is edging closer to completion, giving Walsh valuable first-team experience away from Chelsea's academy setup.
