CHELSEA are reportedly on the verge of signing Bologna midfielder Amadou Diawara.
The 18-year-old has made the headlines in Italy after making his Serie A debut in August.
And the Premier League champions are in "pole position" to sign the player, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
The report claims Diawara's representative Robert Visan has reached an agreement with agent Pini Zahavi, who has a long history of conducting deals for Chelsea and their owner Roman Abramovich.
Last week, the midfielder admitted he has his sights set on playing for a Champions League club.
He said: "I dream of playing in the Champions League."
Chelsea look set for a busy January as they look to rectify a poor start to the season.
