Chelsea are set to complete the £8million capture of Asmir Begovic this week.

Begovic is expected to secure his exit from Stoke in the next few days after the terms of a transfer fee were agreed with the Premier League champions.

Sources at Stoke admit “there is a deal to be done” and the only delay has been over Chelsea deciding which player to loan out as part of the deal.

Chelsea’s opening offer of £6million was rejected last Monday but the clubs have continued dialogue and the move should go through this week.

Mourinho’s squad fly out to America for their pre-season tour on July 15 and want the Bosnia international fully integrated into the squad before then.

Begovic has been targeted as a replacement for Petr Cech, who joined Arsenal last week, and is determined to move on, despite the prospect of being No. 2 goalkeeper behind Thibaut Courtois.
