The Blues could soon be known as Belgium national team’s training school, as Kevin de Bruyne hopes to copy Thibaut Courtoisis by moving from Genk to Chelsea.
The young Belgian midfielder has said discussions are taking place about a possible move, like Courtosis the highly-rated 20-year-old was part of Genk’s title winning side last season.
There have been a lot of rumours linking de Bruyne with a move to Stamford Bridge throughout the summer, but it now looks like it could become a reality.
Should Chelsea wish to loan out the prospective signing, his current side Genk are thought to want a clause that he would not join one of their domestic rivals.

Man City has certainly found a new bag of tricks in Aguero. The moment he hit the pitch yesterday everything changed. While Chelsea is bogged down with more of the same; City has proof that one specialized player can make the difference. So what’s the answer for Chelsea? We need someone who plays wide as a winger, but can also cut in and unlock defences. Someone who can provide a final killer pass but is accurate when called on to shoot. AVB; it’s obvious; we are talking about Neymar.
