A report claims that Chelsea are close to signing Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah after his Italian club agreed to a transfer.

Chelsea are reportedly closing on the signing of Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah.

The 27-year-old joined Juve from Udinese in 2012 and has made over 100 appearances for the Italian champions over the last four seasons.

Just 13 of those appearances came last term, however, and it is understood that the Ghana international will seek pastures new in this summer's transfer window.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A giants are prepared to sell the left-sided player to Chelsea, who will be managed by former Juve boss Antonio Conte next season.

Asamoah has won four Serie A titles during his time in Turin.
