Chelsea will reportedly make a £20m move for Napoli defender Elseid Hysaj in the January transfer window.
Hysaj was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the summer but ultimately remained in Naples.
However, according to The Sun, Chelsea are confident of landing the Albanian at the start of 2019, with a bid in the region of £20m being prepared by the English giants.
The 24-year-old, who played under now-Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, has a contract with his Italian club until the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
Speculation linking the defender with a transfer away from Naples continues to gather pace though, and he could now be on the move at the start of 2019.
Hysaj has appeared in all but one of Napoli's 15 Serie A matches this season.
