The USA international’s expected move to the Premier League was revealed earlier this week and although his buyers were initially unnamed, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United were all put in the frame after scouting him extensively during 2015.
But The Daily Mail have now confirmed that the Blues are the mystery club set to sign the 6 foot 4 centre-back, in a £3.5million deal that is expected to be officially announced by the MLS within the next 24 hours.
