The £15.8 million deal looks set to go through on Monday afternoon. It is by far, in my opinion, the biggest shock of the summer so far. All the focus was on Samuele Et'oo, who was in London for a friendly, yet here we are tying up a deal for a Romanian international.

He has a lot to live up to though. Anyone remember the last Parma player to sign for Chelsea?? You guessed it, Gianfranco Zola! And the last Romanian to play for Chelsea?? The legendary Dan Petrescu!

Here's what Mutu has been saying about the Chelsea deal "From a human point of view it has not been an easy choice. But now it's done so let's think of Chelsea.

"I couldn't refuse the offer they made me. I asked my club to consider it and I have to thank the officials."

So, Mutu to be a Chelsea player before 5 o'clock then...
