SPORT: Chelsea In Pole Position For Dybala Deal

Chelsea close in on £29.5m Palermo superstar, Paolo Dybala according to reports in Italy.

The Argentine is one of the most sought after strikers in Europe and has had plenty of interest from Chelsea's London rivals Arsenal, with the Gunners having previously made a bid.

But reports say Chelsea have taken the lead in the race, and are now clear to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

It’s understood that the Blues have already put some framework in place for the deal to happen, and now look likely to sign the Argentine in the summer.

If Dybala were to come to the Premier League he would be following in the footsteps of other Argentian stars such as Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria.

Palermo have already confirmed Dybala's selling price at £29.5million.
