Premier League
Chelsea has decided to set its sights on Xavi Simons as one of the top reinforcements for the next season. The Club World Cup champion does not want to waste time after the historic success and is already planning the squad that will compete for the Premier League and the Champions League in the upcoming season. The Dutch attacking midfielder, currently at RB Leipzig, is the profile that the sports management considers ideal to enhance the offensive quality of the London team.
Simons, 22 years old, is one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe. With a background in Barcelona's youth academy and after his time at PSG, the Dutchman has flourished in the Bundesliga. Leipzig paid close to 50 million euros to the Parisian club to secure his services after a brilliant loan spell, where he showcased his creative potential and goal-scoring ability.
Chelsea Wants to Sign Xavi Simons
His numbers in Germany are impressive: 21 goals and 23 assists in 76 matches across Bundesliga, Pokal, and Champions League. Furthermore, he has accumulated over 6,000 minutes at the top level, establishing himself as a key figure in the German team's setup. This consistency has sparked the interest of Premier League giants, with Chelsea and Arsenal keeping a close eye on his situation.
Official negotiations have not taken place yet, but Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the close monitoring of both English clubs. Chelsea, in particular, sees Simons as a perfect addition to their talented midfield, which already features Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo, and Cole Palmer. Adding the Dutch player would bring imbalance, technique, and scoring prowess to a team aiming to stay at the top after their global success.
