Aleksandr Golovin's CSKA team-mate Sergey Chepchugov claims the midfielder is joining Chelsea.
Chelsea have yet to strike a deal for Golovin's services as talks continue between the two clubs as they bid to thrash out terms for the 22-year-old.
Chepchugov appeared to confirm his club-teammate is on his way to Stamford Bridge.
He congratulated Golovin on sealing a move to a "big club" and wished his pal well at Chelsea.
However, according to Le'Equipe, Monaco are leading the race to sign the Russian star.
