Everton full-back Ishe Samuels-Smith is close to completing a £4million move to Chelsea.
The 17-year-old left back, who was in Everton's first team squad last season, has agreed a three year contract.
Mail Sport revealed Chelsea's interest on Monday in Transfer Confidential.
Samuels-Smith, who was also being watched by Manchester City, was a key figure in Everton's youth sides last season, catching the eye.
The teenager earned a spot on the bench for the first team in their 4-1 loss to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup last November.
