Chelsea are reportedly hoping to sign Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons before the summer transfer window closes.
Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons have been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, but Chelsea have not been able to get the deal across the line. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Chelsea have informed both players that their transfers will be completed this month. It remains to be seen whether they can wrap up the transfers quickly.
It is no secret that Chelsea need more quality and depth in the attacking unit. Garnacho has struggled for regular game time at Manchester United, and he needs to leave the Red Devils. The prospect of moving to Chelsea appeals to him, and talks over a deal have advanced of late.
Meanwhile, Chelsea need more depth on the flanks and the Argentine international would get regular game time. The youngster registered 21 goal contributions last season, and there is no doubt that he is a tremendous talent with a bright future. He could develop into a star for Chelsea.
On the other hand, Xavi Simons has been outstanding for RB Leipzig. The Dutch playmaker is certainly one of the best attacking players in the Bundesliga, and he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. He has been linked with Manchester City as well.
The Netherlands international is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He could prove to be the ideal acquisition for Chelsea in the final third. He will slot into multiple attacking roles and help the Blues improve going forward.
Chelsea need more attacking quality
Chelsea have done quite well over the last 12 months, and they won the UEFA Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup last season. They will look to build on it and push for the league title now. The Blues have secured UEFA Champions League qualification, and they will look to do well in the premier European competition as well. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right additions and build a formidable squad.
Both Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons are talented individuals with a bright future, and they will look to compete at the highest level. Moving to Chelsea will be quite exciting for them and they will be hoping to get the deal across the line quickly.
