Chelsea are closing in on sending one of their young attackers to Championship side Hull City and it would be a permanent deal, according to the BBC.

 

The Blues have a bloated squad as they continue to search for fresh faces, especially a striker, to bring in through the door.

 

Players are expected to be sent out of Stamford Bridge on a mixture of loans and permanent moves before the window shuts at the end of the month.

 

 

Young forward Mason Burstow is now closing in on an exit and it would be a permanent move.

 

Burstow, who spent last term on loan at Sunderland in the Championship, is poised to sign for Hull City.

 

 

The Tigers went close to getting a playoff spot last season and are determined to make another strong promotion bid this term.

 

Hull will want to quickly finalise the move and guard against any potential hijack attempts.

 

 

Burstow joined Chelsea from London rivals Charlton Athletic in the 2022 January transfer window.
