Chelsea are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Rayo Vallecano defender Pep Chavarria, according to BBC News.
Details remain scarce at this stage, but the report suggests the two clubs are edging towards an agreement for the young centre-back, who would become the latest addition to Chelsea's ever-expanding squad under their current recruitment strategy.
Chavarria has been part of Rayo Vallecano's setup and would represent another step in Chelsea's continued focus on bringing in promising talent from across Europe. No fee or personal terms have been disclosed, and it's understood the move has yet to be finalised.
GoalPoles will bring further updates on the Chavarria situation as more information emerges from Stamford Bridge and Vallecas.
