Chelsea have agreed a loan deal with Juventus for Denis Zakaria, with the Blues having an option to buy the midfielder at the end of the move.
Zakaria will have a medical in Turin on Deadline Day evening, with a move for Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez currently in doubt.
Chelsea submitted a £43m bid for Alvarez this week but Ajax want to keep the midfielder after selling Antony to Manchester United on Deadline Day morning.
Zakaria only joined Juventus from Borussia Monchengladbach in January of this year and has made 11 appearances for the Serie A club.
The Swiss international has made just two appearances in four Italian top-flight matches so far this season.
