Chelsea will complete the £23million acquisition of Fiorentina full-back Marcos Alonso today.
He was at the club's training ground this morning to undergo a medical and has already agreed personal terms.
The 25-year-old arrives at Stamford Bridge following the departure of left-back Baba Rahman to Schalke on loan earlier this month and he started following the club on Twitter on Tuesday.
Alonso is expected to be the first of a possible three deadline day deals as Conte plots a £50million spree.
One player heading back out of Chelsea is Juan Cuadrado, who has been granted his wish to return to Juventus on loan.
Conte wanted the Colombia winger to be in his squad this term only for the 28-year-old to make it clear he wants to play in Italy.
Juventus have agreed to pay a loan fee worth £4.2m, as well as accede to Chelsea's demand that they make the move permanent should he play a certain amount of games.
