Chelsea remain keen on signing Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho buttheir hopes hinge on offloading two of their current attackers. The Blues head into the new season in justifiably confident mood following their impressive end to the previous campaign.

Standard Sport understands Chelsea wish to sign both players this summer and are working on securing player sales, which would accelerate the arrival of RB Leipzig’s Simons and Manchester United’s Garnacho. Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson are two players who will leave if suitable exits can be resolved.
