Former CSKA Moscow manager Valeri Gazzáev has claimed that midfielder Alexandr Golovin has signed a contract with Chelsea.
He has revealed that Golovin has put pen to paper on a deal with the Premier League club, who have been heavily linked to the Russian international.
Golovin has been impressing at the World Cup for Russia this summer, where he is set to face off against Croatia on Saturday in the quarter-finals.
Chelsea are thought to be paying a fee in the region of €30m for Golovin, who is currently plying his trade for CSKA Moscow.
As quoted by Spanish outlet AS, Valeri Gazzáev said this:
Golovin will decide for himself where to move to and as far as I know, he has signed a contract with Chelsea. I think that it’s a really good choice.
I think he is ready. Considering that he is playing in the World Cup and has already played games in the Russian league and the Champions League.
