CHELSEA have agreed to let Jon Harley move across West London to Fulham in a £3.5 million deal, providing the talented young defender passes a medical at Craven Cottage.

The arrival of left-sided Barcelona ace Boudewijn Zenden has allowed Blues coach Claudio Ranieri to cash in on the England Under-21 international, although some Chelsea fans may be disappointed to see one of their few homegrown stars leave Stamford Bridge.

The 21-year-old has already agreed personal terms with his new club and will become Jean Tigana's latest impressive capture, following Edwin van der Sar's switch from Juventus.

A Premiership debut at Old Trafford awaits the full back, who had a loan spell with Wimbledon last season, as the newly-promoted Cottagers kick off against champions Manchester United.

Another product of the FA School of Excellence, Harley is a pacy and skilful left-sided player who seized his chance to impress when both Graeme Le Saux and Celestine Babayaro were unavailable midway through the 1999-00 season.

He signed a new contract in that period that would keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2003.

Most Famous For: Reportedly earning only £250 per month despite being an occasional member of the first team.
