London's "Chelsea" club is close to an agreement with the "Metalist Kharkiv" club for the acquisition of the goalkeeper Taison, reports "Sky Sports".

The Brazilian arrived in Ukraine two and a half years ago from the "Internacional" club, where his team-mate was Chelsea goalkeeper Oscar.

After visiting West London, Taison revealed that he had spoken with representatives of Chelsea about a possible move to the "Blues".

The "Metalist" club does not want to lose this footballer, but according to press reports, both the transfer fee and the personal contract terms have already been agreed.

Chelsea remains the favorites to acquire the Brazilian despite another Premier League team aiming for the player, who will turn 25 on January 13th.
