According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/transfer-news-latest-updates-live/5lOS2jKHbyo0/XAQ34nZtoRkR/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, Chelsea are close to agreeing on a deal in the region of £19 million ($24m/€22m) for the 18-year-old Villa prospect. Finer details have not been agreed but a deal is expected to be reached between the two Premier League clubs.
