Chelsea are close to finalising an agreement with Manchester City for the permanent signing of forward Cole Palmer.
One source has told We News Palmer is expected to have a medical on Thursday.
The deal is worth in the region of £40m.
Should the deal go through it would take the spending at Chelsea under the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership to £1.02bn.
It will also take their spending this summer alone to £419m. In over five years and 11 transfer windows under Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs only spent £412m.
