Chelsea star 'closing in on permanent exit' after agreeing five-year deal with European giants over £30m move

Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is on the verge of leaving the club for Italian giants AC Milan, according to reports.

The French striker has endured a dismal two years as a Blue since signing from Leipzig in a £36million deal.

He struggled to ever cement himself a place in the starting eleven under either Mauricio Pochettino or Enzo Maresca and is now set for the exit door.

Chelsea and AC Milan officials have 'verbally agreed' a fee in the region of £30million plus add-ons for his transfer, according to reports, with Nkunku expected to put pen to paper on a five-year deal in the coming days.
