With Chelsea set to make another bid for Bolton Wanderers forward Nicolas Anelka, the die seems all but cast for a switch from the Reebok to the Bridge.
Chelsea coach Avram Grant is keen to land the former Arsenal man before the weekend, and it seems that the player feels largely the same way, at least according to agent Doug Pingisi.
Speaking to L'Equipe, Pingisi said, "He really wants to join Chelsea.
"But he's calm. He's hopeful that everything will be settled this week.
"He's been waiting for an opportunity like this for years. He's appreciative of the fact that he's top of Chelsea's wanted list at the moment.
"For Nico, it's vital that he finds a club that will let him compete at the highest level. It's also a club involved in every competition, particularly the Champions League."
Chelsea already had a bid - thought to be in the region of £11m - turned down on Monday, but are ready to make a second.
