Chelsea owners BlueCo have agreed to sign Brighton winger Julio Enciso, talkSPORT understands.
The Paraguayan is set to join Strasbourg in a €16million (around £13.8m) before a potential move to Stamford Bridge in the future.
Enciso has been identified as a Chelsea player in the long-term despite plans for him to link-up with the Ligue 1 club.
The 21-year-old has already agreed personal terms ahead of finalising his transfer.
He is set to become the fifth player signed from Brighton since BlueCo bought Chelsea in 2022.
Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Joao Pedro and Robert Sanchez have all previously been purchased from the Seagulls , however, they have gone straight to Chelsea.
Enciso joined the club from Paraguayan outfit Libertad in 2022 before making 57 first-team appearances
