Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens have already been signed as attackers by Chelsea this summer at a cost of up to £142million, and the Palmeiras teenager Estêvão Willian is also joining them ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

As Arsenal and Chelsea jostle to sign Xavi Simons this summer, the Telegraph have now revealed which Premier League outfit the 22-year-old is leaning towards. Matt Law now claims that the RB Leipzig No.10 – who is valued around £60m – views a move to Stamford Bridge as his most attractive option, as things stand.

Chelsea have stepped up their pursuit of RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons, sources have told ESPN. The 21-year-old is open to joining the Premier League club and Leipzig are willing to sell despite only signing Simons on a permanent basis in January for an initial fee of €50 million ($58.8m).
