Xabi Alonso is at Stamford Bridge with the Blues. Chelsea have reached a full agreement with AS Monaco to sign midfielder Lamine Camara, according to Santi Aouna.
Following intensive discussions, Chelsea made a breakthrough by submitting a revised offer worth €55 million to secure the deal.
The 22-year-old Senegal international, eager to play in the Premier League, has verbally agreed to a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge with an option for a further year.
Monaco were ready to hold on to Camara, but circumstances changed dramatically on deadline day.
After a proposed €50 million sale of striker Folarin Balogun to Everton collapsed due to a failed medical, Monaco needed to sanction a major sale to meet financial targets. Chelsea capitalised, stepping in with an improved offer that matched Monaco's valuation.
