Chelsea have just moved a step closer to completing another summer signing as their transfer target is soon due for a medical in London.

The Blues should be commended for how quickly they are going about their business in this window.

They've already welcomed through the entrance doors Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman this summer.

Now, Chelsea have reportedly agreed a deal to sign an extremely versatile young player.

It is understood that Blues have reached an agreement with the Swiss club to pay EUR14m (PS12m).

The report says that the 20-year-old Portuguese talent has a medical scheduled in London.

Afterwards, he set to sign a long-term deal at Stamford Bridge that makes him a Chelsea player until 2032.

Who is imminent Blues signing? Chelsea's recruiters continue to go down the strategy of signing young and unproven talents, so not all the transfer targets will be familiar names.

Veiga, 20, looks like a really interesting addition if this deal gets pushed over the line.

His most interesting attribute is that he's hugely versatile. In fact, he can play as either a left-sided centre-back, left-back or a No 6 in midfield.

The Athletic's report above mentions that the Basel youngster is deemed a great fit for new Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca.

Former Basel manager Timo Schultz described Veiga as an "excellent footballer" last September via bz Basel.

He's previously played in Portugal, Germany and Switzerland.

Let's hope Chelsea is it good fit for him!
