Chelsea close to deal for £8.5m winger Kevin de Bruyne
CHELSEA were last night set to sign Racing Genk winger Kevin de Bruyne for £8.5million after talks in London between the two clubs.
Genk director Dirk Degraen has been at Stamford Bridge and the two clubs were last night said to be edging close to a deal for the highly rated Belgian international.
De Bruyne, 20, will be immediately loaned out, possibly back to Genk, for the rest of the season and maybe for a year if the deal goes through before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.
