Roma have had a £24m bid for Chelsea and Manchester City target Franck Kessie accepted, according to reports in Italy.
The Atalanta midfielder has been one of the standout performers in Serie A this season and clubs are queuing up to sign him.
Both Chelsea and Manchester City have expressed a strong interest, while the Ivorian has been linked with clubs in Germany and Spain too.
But, according to Italian sports publication,  Corriere dello Sport, Roma have nipped in front of everyone else by agreeing a fee for Kessie.
The Italian club will reportedly shell out around £24m for the 20-year-old and they will offer him a five-year contract.
Talks with Kessie and his agent are set to take place next week, meaning the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City will have to move fast if they want to land their man.
