Nigerian eligible forward and Chelsea academy product Tino Anjorin is having a medical at Empoli on Tuesday.
Chelsea have agreed a deal with the Serie A side that will see them earn 50 per cent of any future sale of the player.
The 22-year-old had been with Chelsea’s youth academy since the age of seven.
He made five first-team appearances and was an England youth international.
Anjorin will link up his compatriot Tyrone Ebuehi who is already on the payroll of the club.
