Chelsea have announced that they have reached an agreement with Lyon over the transfer of French international Florent Malouda.
The winger will join up with the Premiership giants on their pre-season tour of the United States subject to completing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
Malouda, who is valued in the region of £13m, had been weighing up a move to either Chelsea of Liverpool for some team, but it seems that Jose Mourinho has won the race to sign the 27-year-old Lyon star.
"Chelsea can confirm it has agreed a fee with Olympique Lyonnais for the transfer of Florent Malouda," read a statement from Chelsea.
Malouda will follow Steve Sidwell, Claudio Pizarro and Tal Ben Haim in arriving at Stamford Bridge in what has been a busy summer for the Blues.
Meanwhile, it has also been announced today that former Israeli boss Avram Grant has been appointed the clubs Technical Director and will work alongside manager Jose Mourinho and youth development chief Frank Arnesen.
"Grant will be responsible for liaison on, and co-ordination of, football matters across the various areas of Chelsea," read a statement from Chelsea.
"He will also sit on the football club board and report to chief executive Peter Kenyon."
