Chelsea and Southampton have reached an agreement over Lavia, who will command a transfer fee of £58 million.

Liverpool also agreed a deal with Southampton, but the player opted to sign for the Blues.
Lavia's proposed switch to Chelsea comes after the club shelled out a British record £115 million to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
The Belgium international, who joined the Saints from Manchester City, starred in the Premier League last season, making 29 league appearances.
