Chelsea could have another signing through the door on Wednesday.
Chelsea have been quite busy this transfer window, already bringing in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman and Tosin Adarabioyo.
There is also a deal in place with Palmeiras for them to sign Estevao Willian.
However, the Blues’ transfer business does not appear to be finished.
Chelsea are said to be interested in Dani Olmo and are in the process of wrapping up a deal for a defender.
Chelsea set to sign defender this week
Chelsea have added Adarabioyo to a squad that already possessed the likes of Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana for the centre-back positions.
Enzo Maresca also has a couple of options for the left-back position, with Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell both still at the club for now.
Even so, the Blues have decided to make a move for Basel’s Renato Veiga, who is set for a switch to Stamford Bridge this summer.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Veiga will complete the final part of his medical on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old can play in central defence, midfield and at left-back.

Renato Veiga’s stats ahead of Chelsea move
At 20, Chelsea are obviously not getting an experienced player in Veiga.
In total, the Portuguese youngster has made just 39 senior appearances, scoring just a couple of goals along the way.
Last season, he played 26 times for Basel, netting twice and recording one assist.
Veiga is the kind of player that Chelsea like, though. He is young, has potential and is not going to cost the club a fortune.
As per The Athletic, the deal to take him from Basel to Chelsea is only going to cost the Blues €14m (£11.8m).
At that price, Veiga could eventually prove to be a bargain for the club. He is a very versatile player who is about to join a squad that had so many injury problems last season.
In the past, he has been described as an “excellent footballer” by his former manager Timo Schultz.
