The transfer of Dutch sensation Xavi Simons to Chelsea is edging closer, with reports indicating that there is now an 85 per cent chance of the move being finalised.
Simons, who has been one of Europe’s most sought-after young talents, is said to be “very optimistic” about the deal and is patiently waiting for the final approval to complete his switch to Stamford Bridge.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has made no secret of his desire to join Chelsea, with sources close to the negotiations confirming that the player has already given his full commitment to the Premier League side.
While the final details are still being ironed out, Chelsea remains confident that the deal will be sealed in the coming days, with Simons expected to play a key role in the club’s long-term project under manager Enzo Maresca.
If completed, the signing would mark another major statement by Chelsea in the transfer market as they continue rebuilding with a focus on young, versatile, and technically gifted players.
