Green is expected to sign a one-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
1.15pm: Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has turned his attention to joining Chelsea from Lazio.

Transfer news LIVE updates: Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho wants to sign two more players
11.40am: Chelsea could lose star man Eden Hazard this summer with Real Madrid looking to the winger to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
Los Blancos have put the Belgian at the top of their wish list after Ronaldo left for Juventus in a £99m move.
Spanish outlet Don Balon, known for their bold and outlandish transfer claims, say Hazard has set Real Madrid a deadline to get a move done.
The 27-year-old is said to be worried a switch might not materialise with Chelsea demanding £200m to sell him.
And Hazard has reportedly told Real Madrid they must get a deal done by the August 9 transfer deadline or he could stay at the Blues in the long-term.
10am: Manchester United forward Anthony Martial could move to Tottenham in a swap deal for Toby Alderweireld, according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge.
“Anthony Martial’s future could be the big talking point of the transfer window,” he told the Transfer Talk podcast.
“Chelsea have entered the fray and I have said plenty of times that Spurs have a longstanding interest in Martial and I still stand by that.
“There may even be a deadline day swap between him and Toby Alderweireld, who knows. There will still be plenty to go in the last few weeks.
“Chelsea, we know they are interested but they are yet to make a formal offer. Sky in Germany are saying Bayern Munich will only make a move if United lower their valuation of the player – you’d say unlikely.
9.15am: Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has revealed how many signings he wants to make before the transfer window shuts.
“One thing is what I would like,” he told ESPN FC.
“Another thing is what is going to happen.”
Asked directly how many new signings he would like the Special One was quick to say his side needed two new faces to arrive.
He explained: “I would get two more players.”

GETTY 8.45am: Emre Can has opened up on his relationship with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp following his departure from Anfield to join Juventus.
“Not a lot of managers would let you play so many times when you are in the final year of your contract,” explained Can.

“But I always did my best. I always wanted to help the team.
“That is what he saw. That is why he kept faith with me.”
8.15am: Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a bid for Tottenham star Hugo Lloris, meaning Thibaut Courtois looks set to stay at Chelsea.
According to The Sun, the Spurs is now being primed for a £60m bid from Los Blancos.

Courtois had been top of the list after a number of hints made by the Belgian.
The 26-year-old’s children still live in the Spanish capital from his time at Atletico Madrid, where he spent three years.
7.45am: Arsenal hero Ray Parlour believes Danny Welbeck could be plotting to leave Arsenal this summer.
“It’s possible Danny Welbeck might look to leave Arsenal this summer,” he said.
“There’s a lot of competition for places and he’s at that age where he really needs to be playing every week.
“He’s an important asset for Arsenal coming off the bench due to his versatility.
“But he doesn’t have the finishing skills needed to be above the likes of [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang, [Alexandre] Lacazette, [Mesut] Ozil or [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan in the pecking order.”
