Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who has reported on the Romeo Lavia saga since the very first rumours, now insists that the 19-year-old has decided to accept a Chelsea offer.
"Final announcement for Romeo Lavia incoming. Just waiting for a final confirmation but the player arrived in London this week-end & enjoyed a private moment with friends in order to celebrate his move," Tavolieri tweeted.
"Player’s side now being formal on the fact he´s off to Chelsea. This transfer is crazy so more details will follow."
If true, this would be a huge blow to Liverpool, who are set to lose both Moises Caicedo and Lavia transfer races to Chelsea.
The Blues will pay Southampton around £55m for the 19-year-old midfielder.
