The England U21 international will seal the switch in the next 24 hours with his medical scheduled for Monday evening, while an official announcement is expected on Tuesday. 

The Chelsea academy product played only 11 times last season with his six appearances in the Premier League coming from the bench. 

The midfielder's £60,000-a-week deal with his parent club runs until 2021, with the Blues determined to see him become a first-team player in the future.
