It had been widely reported that he would form half of a stunning Chelsea double raid on Napoli, along with manager Maurizio Sarri.
OPINION
This is a huge coup for Chelsea, which has left Premier League rivals Man City furious. Man City still thought a deal for the Napoli midfielder was on yesterday, despite Chelsea making noises that they’d landed him. It looks like that’s true and that Man City will start the season with a bloody nose from their title rivals. The 26-year-old midfielder arrived in Napoli for £8.55m from Hellas Verona and has impressed since, enough to have two of the biggest Premier League spenders desperate for his signature. Chelsea landed the blow after also getting Sarri to join and the double deal will be massive for Chelsea when it’s completed. The 5ft 11in midfield dynamo is exactly the player that Chelsea need to get their Premier League bid back on track after a hugely disappointing 17/18 campaign. Antonio Conte was sacked today and not even thanked on the official Chelsea statement. That’s harsh but they’re not wasting any time making changes now he’s gone, and that will be very welcome news for Chelsea fans.
