New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior is on the verge of his first signing at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are reportedly "confident" of beating Manchester United to the signature of Sheffield Wednesday starlet Yisa Alao.
The 17-year-old prospect is seen as a key part of Rosenior’s long-term vision.
The deal is expected to be structured with a modest initial fee followed by significant performance-related add-ons.
