Transfer: Xavi Simons takes decision on joining Chelsea

RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons has made up his mind about a possible move to Chelsea this summer.

This comes after Chelsea showed serious interest in signing the Dutch midfielder during the current transfer window.

Simons is one of the attacking players Chelsea is considering adding to their squad. The club has already signed Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, and they want to boost their attack further.

At just 22 years old, Simons had a great 2024/25 season, scoring 8 goals and providing 11 assists. His strong performance has caught the attention of top clubs across Europe.

Both Chelsea and Arsenal are among the clubs that want to sign him, showing how highly rated he is.

According to journalist Matt Law from the Daily Telegraph, Chelsea sees Simons as a realistic transfer target. They believe there’s a good chance of signing him.

The report also mentioned that Simons’ representatives have already had early discussions with Chelsea. The Dutch player is said to be interested in joining the club, who recently won the FIFA Club World Cup.

However, Chelsea might need to sell some of their current attackers before they can officially bring in Simons.

Joao Felix is one of the players likely to leave Chelsea, with Benfica interested in signing him again. Christopher Nkunku may also be on his way out of Stamford Bridge.
