Recently, many media reported that Chelsea was paying attention to RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simmons. The Daily Telegraph reported that only by selling players on the offensive line first can Chelsea introduce the Dutch international or other targets.

Although the Blues have signed Drapp, Pedro, Gittens and are preparing for Estewan's arrival, they have not ruled out the possibility of introducing another offensive player in this transfer window.

Chelsea has shown interest in Garnacho and Morgan Rodgers and has been linked with Felmin Lopez. It is now rumored that Xavi Simmons has been investigated. However, as for whether to launch a formal action against either target, it may depend on whether one of Chelsea's existing frontcourt players has been sold or left the team.

Maduaike had moved to Arsenal last week, and the short-term or long-term prospects of other attackers in Chelsea are also questioned: Nkunku is expected to leave the team, and his departure is almost certain to prompt Chelsea to find a replacement, targeting players like Xavi Simmons or Rodgers who can move behind the striker or on the left.

Felix was allowed to leave Chelsea this summer, Benfica intends to sign him back, and other clubs are paying attention to the Portuguese player's situation. According to the Daily Telegraph, Jackson is not a non-selling product. If Chelsea receives a high offer, he may leave the team; and young player George may be rented out to help him develop. In addition, Muderick was charged by the FA for stimulant violations and faces the risk of a long-term ban.

report said that Chelsea hopes to compete for offensive positions in the new season, and Xavi Simmons is considered a realistic signing target.

With the Champions League qualification and the success of the Club World Cup, Chelsea's position has improved in the eyes of players outside England, and Simmons is said to be interested in transferring to Stamford Bridge.

It is reported that Arsenal also expressed interest in Xavi Simmons, but Chelsea is currently considered the most attractive option among English clubs.

According to Spanish reports, Simmons is working with well-known agent Ali Balat to advance the transfer this summer. Bharat has good relations with Chelsea and Arsenal, and he has contributed to Maduaike's transfer between the two clubs, and also has contributed to Kesedo and Jackson joining Chelsea.
