Chelsea to pay €28m for Vecino

Chelsea have reportedly agreed to meet the €28m asking price for Inter midfielder Matias Vecino, who was also linked with Everton.

The 28-year-old Uruguay international has fallen down the pecking order with the arrival of Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur in January.

According to the Sunday Express newspaper, Chelsea are now ready to pay the €28m asking price for Vecino over the summer.
