The 18-year-old is set to spend the season with Celtic, with the deal understood to contain no option to buy.
Mheuka has already completed his Celtic medical and is now closing in on officially becoming a Celtic player.
The England Under-19 international is regarded as one of the most highly-rated young prospects at Stamford Bridge.

He was named Premier League 2 Player of the Year last season after an outstanding campaign in front of goal, scoring 17 times in 17 appearances.
Hopefully, he gets more time on the pitch at Celtic than Jamhai Simpson-Pusey, who won that accolade a year prior.
His arrival also comes following the departure of Johnny Kenny, who completed his £3million move to Preston North End last night.
Kenny had attracted interest from a number of Championship clubs following his successful loan spell at Bolton Wanderers, but Preston eventually won the race for his signature.
With that deal now completed, Mheuka’s arrival provides Celtic with another attacking option as the Hoops prepare for the Europa League and domestic campaigns.
