Blues looking to bring the Fiorentina star to the Premier League.
Chelsea have had an offer of £23 million accepted for Fiorentina and Colombia winger Juan Cuadrado, report the Express, as Jose Mourinho looks to add the unpredictable and lightning quick South American to his arsenal of attacking options during the Janaury transfer window.

If the report is correct, it means that Chelsea have managed to make a small saving on the player’s release clause in Florence, believed to be £26.8m, although at least one of Mohamed Salah and Andre Schurrle is now likely to leave Stamford Bridge during January to help free up both funds and space for Cuadrado.
The Colombian international really caught the eye at the World Cup with his creative performances for Jose Pekerman’s side, but that was merely a continuation of his Serie A form for La Viola, something that hasn’t let up since he returned to domestic football in the summer.
