The forward, currently with Leipzig is now discussing personal terms, with both parties aiming to wrap up the deal quickly. While nothing is final yet, it is looking increasingly likely that Xavi Simons will be a Chelsea player imminently. While Tottenham, Manchester City and Bayern Munich have shown interest, Chelsea currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. Chelsea have been strong going forward this season, with 11 goals scored in 6 games (1.83 per game). Xavi Simons would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Leipzig continue to be linked with Fabio Silva, Rasmus Winther Hojlund and Christopher Nkunku while Chelsea are also rumoured to be tracking Kobbie Mainoo, Ademola Lookman and Julio Enciso.
