Andre Schurrle waits on Chelsea move confirmation
CHELSEA target Andre Schurrle is hopeful of some positive news over the weekend on his proposed £20m move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have been in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over signing the German international in the past few weeks, with the forward keen on the switch.
Negotiations appeared to slow as Leverkusen director of sport Rudi Voller claimed Kevin De Bruyne was being factored into the deal.
However, Chelsea are confident a package can be sealed soon, and Schurrle's agent has revealed that could be as soon as this weekend.
"I am waiting for information from either Leverkusen or Chelsea," said agent Ingo Haspel. "But there could be some positive news by the end of this weekend.
"It is an indication of how much Chelsea want the player that they are continuing to negotiate."
A key component of the deal is thought to be Leverkusen's attempt to convince De Bruyne to them join on-loan over Borussia Dortmund or Schalke.
