Chelsea have reportedly now made an offer to sign a 20-year-old attacker this window, and it’s not Xavi Simons.I mean, Simons is also 22-years-old and not 20. But he has been all the talk this week

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).

In his newsletter for GiveMeSport, Fabrizio Romano was asked if Arsenal are still interested in signing Simons this summer. The journalist replied: “Yes, but Eze is higher on their list, and Simons is currently in advanced talks with Chelsea.” Simons is a terrific player; nobody can dispute that.
