Kevin de Bruyne is set to get his chance at Chelsea.
Andre Schurrle's arrival from Bayer Leverkusen for a straight cash deal will see De Bruyne given his chance by manager Jose Mourinho.
De Bruyne spent the whole of last season on loan at Werder Bremen, where he caught the attention of Leverkusen coach Sami Hyypia.
But Mourinho wants a close look at the winger in pre-season training before making any decision.
