bloomshorts Chelsea at the Forefront for Xavi Simons’ Signature
Xavi Simons has been linked with a move away from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig during the summer transfer window. According to a report from Fichajes, Chelsea are leading candidates to sign the 22-year-old Netherlands international, and they will face competition from Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal. Arsenal and Tottenham are keen on Simons as well.
Asking Price for Simons Revealed
The report claims that the 22-year-old is very close to leaving the German club, and a move to the Premier League could be beyond the horizon. However, Chelsea will have to pay a premium in order to get the deal done. The player is valued at £95 million.
Chelsea’s Need for Simons
They could use more creativity and goals in the final third. The 22-year-old is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. Simons scored 11 goals last season and picked up eight assists.
Simons’ Potential
He has been described as a ‘complete player’ by Dani Olmo in the past. He has all the tools to develop into a top-class player with the right guidance, and the move to the Premier League could unlock his true potential. Regular football at a high level could accelerate his development.
