Blues to sign Azpilicueta in next 48 hours
Chelsea are set to land Marseille full-back Cesar Azpilicueta within the next 48 hours, according to La Provence.
The Blues have been in the market for a right-back after allowing Jose Bosingwa to leave the club earlier this summer, with Azpilicueta their number one target.
And reports in France now suggest that a deal is imminent, with the 22-year-old Spaniard's representatives currently in London to tie up a deal worth an estimated €8million-10million.
Azpilicueta has made 62 appearances for l'OM since a €7million transfer from hometown club Osasuna in 2010, and though he has yet to make a breakthrough into the Spanish national side he is considered one of the best young players in his position in Europe.
