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.

However, The Guardian reports that Chelsa are waiting to sell Nkunku before accelerating talks with both of the aforementioned stars. Bayern Munich were previously pushing to strike a deal for the 27-year-old, and they tabled a loan offer with an option to buy last weekend.

The deadline for Xavi Simon's move to Chelsea has been confirmed with the RB Leipzig midfielder close to joining the club.

TBR Football can exclusively reveal when Man Utd man Alejandro Garnacho and RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons will join Chelsea.
