Chelsea closing in on Metalist Kharkiv midfielder

Brazilian midfielder, Taison, is now likely to move to West London as talks are going between the Ukranian club, Metalist Kharkiv, and Chelsea are ongoing.

Metalist are very reluctant about losing their promising midfielder, but the two clubs have agreed to a fee and the Blues have also agreed personal terms with Taison. Taison did reveal a possible move to Stanford Bridge after making a visit to West London. The Brazilian joined Metalist two-and-a-half years ago from Internacional, where he played with current Chelsea midfielder Oscar.

Also, another unnamed Premier League is also in talks with Matalist Kharkiv to sign Taison, although Chelsea remain the favourite to sign the young Brazilian. If successful, he will be Chelsea’s second signing this month, following the arrival of Demba Ba from West Ham last week.
