According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the player’s agent and former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman is in England to finalise the deal.
The fee is a reported £66.9million with an additional £13.3m in add-ons.

More recently Kalidou Koulibaly, Wilfred Ndidi and Leon Bailey have used Genk as a gateway to stardom.
