Borussia Dortmund is on the verge of a spectacular double transfer with FC Chelsea. Two young talents could soon strengthen Niko Kovac's squad.

A double deal with FC Chelsea is imminent for Borussia Dortmund just before the end of the transfer period. After long and tough negotiations, the talks are said to have made significant progress in London last weekend.

As Sky reports, sporting director Sebastian Kehl and licensed player manager Lars Ricken traveled to England, to negotiate personally with the top management of the Blues. The trip is considered successful: both sides approached each other, all parties are confident that the transfers can be completed promptly.

The focus of the talks are Carney Chukwuemeka and Aarón Anselmino. Chukwuemeka, who was already loaned to BVB in the past second half of the season and played in 17 competitive matches, is supposed to move permanently to Dortmund. The transfer fee for the 21-year-old is around 25 million euros, and a resale participation for Chelsea is also planned. Anselmino, 20 years old and a central defender, is supposed to be loaned for one year - without a purchase option.

The signing of the Argentine is a high priority for BVB. After the injuries of Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck, the defense is the biggest problem in coach Niko Kovac's squad. The young defender could expect immediate playing time. If the deal still fails, Charlie Cresswell (23, FC Toulouse) remains a serious alternative. According to information from The Athletic, Dortmund has already made a first offer for the Englishman, which is said to have been rejected.

BVB is said to have already reached an agreement with both desired players. However, the double transfer is not yet official. Kehl and Ricken interrupted their London trip specifically to be in the stadium in time for the Bundesliga kick-off against FC St. Pauli (Saturday, 6:30 pm).

The Black and Yellows had long held back on the transfer market. After the signing of Jobe Bellingham, however, a double strike could now follow, which would bring urgently needed reinforcement in both midfield and defense. The responsible parties must report completion by the transfer deadline on September 1 at the latest.
