Chelsea fans have been treated to some brilliant World Cup displays from the player expected to become their first signing of the summer transfer window.
Aleksandr Golovin has starred for hosts Russia, helping them reach the quarter-finals after they earned the nail-biting victory on penalties over Spain.
The midfielder, who represents CSKA Moscow, has been linked with a host of Europe's biggest clubs due to his showings on the world stage, and it appears Chelsea have won the race for the 22-year-old.
