    Wigan Athletic are closing in on a season-long loan move for Chelsea midfielder Reggie Walsh.

    The 17-year-old is also expected to sign a new contract on improved terms before heading out on his first loan spell in League One.

    Walsh has just returned from Chelsea's pre-season tour of Australia and Asia under new manager Xabi Alonso. He still has to finalise personal terms and complete a medical in the North West.

    However, the youngster was keen to play men's football this season after becoming Chelsea's youngest player to appear in the Champions League. He has also made three further senior appearances for the club.

    Chelsea signed Harrison Bettoni from Wigan earlier in the transfer window. The midfielder, who plays in a similar position to Walsh, joined to strengthen the club's academy ranks.

    Chelsea are also planning a similar move for academy winger Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, who is nearing a loan move to Championship side Portsmouth after travelling on the first-team's pre-season tour.

    Striker Shim Mheuka is also expected to sign a new contract this week after broadly agreeing terms to remain at the club.

    Mheuka, who was named Premier League 2 Player of the Season after scoring 17 goals in 17 appearances for the Under-21s last season, is then expected to join a club on loan.
