The transfer of Juan Cuadrado to Chelsea is edging ever closer, according to the BBC.

Their reporter, Ben Smith, has today suggested that the Blues are close to agreeing to a £23.3 million deal to bring the Colombian winger to the club from Fiorentina.

The Colombian has already agreed personal terms with the Premier League leaders and the clubs are concluding the final details of the move.

The Fiorentina star fuelled speculation today by removing a link to the Serie A club's Twitter page from his Twitter bio, at the same time as favouriting a tweet congratulating him on a move to the West Londoners.

The total fee, with add-ons, could eventually be £26.8m - a figure that matches Cuadrado's release clause at the Italian club.

Mohamed Salah is likely to go on loan to Fiorentina as part of the deal.

However, Egyptian winger Salah has yet to decide on a move to Serie A, with AS Roma ending their interest in the former Basel man last week.

The Egypt international now appears likely to see out the season in Florence, with the Violas manager Vincenzo Montella apparently encouraged by his anticipated arrival].

He is a good player, a very interesting player", added the Fiorentina coach. He is a strong winger".

If discussions conclude swiftly, the winger - who starred in last summer's World Cup - could even arrive in London for a medical on Friday.

Cuadrado's imminent arrival also means Chelsea's 24-year-old German forward Andre Schurrle is now almost certain to leave Stamford Bridge before Monday's transfer deadline, with VfL Wolfsburg a likely destination.

Until then we have some long hours and days to kill. Red flush casino has over 500 of the best Microgaming casino games to choose from, so it might help. Give it a try.
